""This is a great time to have that fungicide go down for early-season protection, but then also have that herbicide in as well," he says, noting that early weed control-targeting species like chickweed and dandelion-can help protect yield potential."
""This was a great case of why early-season protection can really help us," Pilkington says, adding that powdery mildew is another early-season risk under cool conditions."
"Pilkington points to Bayer trial data indicating "that T1 application gave us a real four-bushel yield bump in addition to having that T3," reinforcing the benefit of layered protection."
""You want it as warm as it can be for the products to perform best when plants are actively growing.""
Early-season fungicide applications are essential for winter wheat performance, with T1 and T1.5 timing being critical as wheat greens up. Disease pressure, particularly from stripe rust and powdery mildew, necessitates early protection. Combining T1 with a T3 fungicide pass has shown a significant yield increase. Application management, including increased water volume, is vital to reduce crop injury. Weather conditions, particularly temperatures above 3°C, play a crucial role in the efficacy of fungicide applications, with optimal performance occurring when plants are actively growing.
