Fungicides on a late crop???

[AG_guy]

I guess i just assumed it was going on
wheat or barley . A good foliar will
have something for every crop. N-P-K-S,
boron, copper, zing, iron, Manganese.
Make sure the plant is topped up going
into flowering. Also guys notice the
plants don't seem to "shut down" for a
period after the fungicide is applied.
Also they work really well in with the
herbicide.

As far as manufacturers here is my
thought. There are only so many makers
of the raw products, and only so many
makers of the micros that go into it. I
look at many sites and see some
companies have many many foliars,My
feeling is one should be able to do any
crop that way its not confusing for the
farmer. And great marketing can make one
foliar seem superior to another.

And copper and fungicide burn, don't add
straight copper at say 1/3 liter and acre,
i'm just saying a low does that's found in
foliars. At a rate of say .1% in blend
would be fine.

If you are aiming to mitigate a copper
deficiency a balanced blend or stress
reliever won't cut it. I like to use a
low concentrate copper like stoler or
omex with the old folicure if you can
find any, that way you can cut back on
the surfactant. surfactant overload is
the usual cause of leaf bronzing when
tank mixing fungicide.

If you have a deficiency you need to
address is at herbicide time or earlier,
later on its more of a top up. And that is
true about the surfactant burn.

So anyone reading this you just cant grab
any chemical at anytime and add a foliar.

Foliars at herbicide have a bigger influence on yield, fungicide timing has a bigger influece on quality. Ergot bushel weight for example. Typically on my land copper is sufficient to drive yield but at heading it runs out of horse power, showing small kernels, early senescence, and increased susceptibility to leaf disease. A good dose of copper at the beginning of heading is good for about 15% more yield and 2 grades better than quilt alone. Obviously results will vary depending on the degree of deficiency and there is a tipping point where it's better to tackle a deficiency at the soil level.

Correct me if I am mistaken, but doesn't heat
and moisture promote the growth of crop
fungus? I only have experience on lentils and
wheat only by aerial but noticeably increased
yield and quality time after time.
