The corn fungicide results at the Graves Chapple Research Center have been
analyzed. Headline fungicide was applied to four different corn hybrids. The
rate of application was 9 ounces per acre and applied with twenty four gallons
of water as carrier.
In our tests, corn yields were high because of timely rains. However, the
conditions outside the rain events persisted throughout the season. Our results
with all four hybrids did not indicate any significant difference between the
fungicide and the untreated checks. Each hybrid was an individual test. The
results from our tests indicate that fungicides do not improve drought
tolerance. That does not mean that other tests and other results may
differ.
