Effect of a Foliar Fungicide Application on Standability of Hybrid Corn

Authors: Alison Robertson (Iowa State University) , Mauricio Serrano (Iowa State University) , Ken Pecinovsky (Iowa State University)

Abstract

Many farmers have observed that hybrid corn to which a fungicide was applied at flowering (VT to R1) stayed greener longer after physiological maturity and had reduced lodging compared with corn not sprayed with a fungicide. Consequently, a field trial was established in 2016 and 2017 to test the effect of a foliar fungicide applied at R1 on lodging at harvest. This article does not include 2018 data.
