Protect Your Corn Yield with a Timely Fungicide Application

By Gilbert Barrett, President/CEO, White County Farmers Exchange

**Professional Drone Application Available Throughout Northeast Georgia**

You've invested heavily in seed, fertilizer, herbicides, and crop management. A properly timed fungicide application helps protect that investment by maintaining a healthy, productive plant during the critical grain-fill period.  Fungicides control gray leaf spot, northern corn leaf blight, and southern rust while also improving plant health, stress tolerance, stalk quality, and grain fill.

One-Pass Fungicide Program
Best timing: VT (full tassel) through R1 (silking).
Approach Prima: 6.8 fl oz/acre.
Trivapro: 13.7 fl oz/acre.

Two-Pass Program
First application: V8–V10. 

Second application: VT–R1 for maximum canopy protection.

Yield & ROI
University and on-farm research indicates properly timed fungicide applications can increase yield by approximately 4–11 bushels per acre depending on weather and disease pressure, while improving stalk strength and standability.
