Cereal Fungicide

Expectation needs to be 5+ bpa minimum because you have to make up for those years in which no benefit is seen. Combined triple digit durum and close to it a number of times and have yet to see even a 5 bus difference. Why do we keep sprayin it? I don't know, must be the same reason I keep putting that red shit on the seeds that gets everywhere and coats everthing yet leave check fields every year and never notice a yield difference.

In for a penny in for a pounding.

I get it. And once I felt the same way.
I don't know your conditions or your fixed costs.
But part of the reason we have resistance issues for example, is that for decades we looked at crop maintenance as an expense instead of an investment.
I know what drought is and $5.00 wheat for a generation.
Test everything for yourself on your own farm. Don't play the blame game. Somehow yields have gone up everywhere over last 40 years.

20bpa gain that's amazing I would love to see that. We use scales on our checks.

My biggest reason for fungicide is fusarium, can’t afford wheat to be downgraded to feed or worse.

Sphaerex and Miravis are both good products. Just use what works best for your programs if u are using them.

After pricing fungicides the last few days I have to ask why not forget programming and buy generic versions? Generic Prosaro is roughly 1/2 the price, no amount of programming will make that up. Just my 2 cents.

[Grahamp]

All generics here.

Doing more math here too . The newer Sphaerex is over $22 before rebate which is supposed to be $5 or $6. Compared this to the old Folicur generic. A tote of Tebbie on sale the other day made it under $4 per acre.

We are in a wet area its just common practise. Its about bushels and if you want a number that's high you cover every base. If you miss one step maybe yu ou don't see a benefit. 1 in 10 you lose the rest are a win win.

Turning 28-30 next week for a while.
We'll see...

[Sodbuster]

We’re using mostly generic here, we will use 320 acres of a Syngenta fungicide to maximize my rebate from them, Meravis Ace will cost me $22/acre but will get back $34/acre. Bayer program is a wash so probably won’t participate.

There isnt even algae in the lakes. It was 8 deg here 3 nights in a row last week.

I think you are throwing time and $25 an acre into a hole but each to their own.

I dont want to delay maturity even a day this year.

To each his own. Use those products because we have seen good results and returns along with programs we are in so will stick with what works. Sometimes have issues with the knock off products so stick with what has worked for us
