In my wheelhouse, planting field corn is once again upon us, or soon will be.\u00a0 I know I get repetitive, but the message at this point is the same.\u00a0 Corn growers will have one chance to fight nematodes, IF they need to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Producers have ONE CHANCE to make a BEST decision.\u00a0 Using a nematicide where a grower doesn’t have a nematode problem is not a “best” decision.\u00a0 Using a nematicide where a grower DOES have a nematode problem IS a “best” decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Products growers may consider at this point for nematode control on corn include:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Counter 20G (do not use with ALS herbicides)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Propulse (I do not recommend mixing with a starter fertilizer)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Velum (I do not recommend mixing with a starter fertilizer)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Overland (abamectin, not enough data to recommend)<\/p>\n\n\n\n At-plant fungicide<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Xyway LRF (flutriafol, applied in 2 X 2 pattern and NOT in-furrow directly on seed. This fungicide is marketed for season-long control of diseases like northern and southern corn leaf blights and grey leaf spot. I have not had the product in a trial where I had a problem with those diseases, so I am not sure it is true of not. FMC reports that Xyway can be mixed with starter fungicides. I have not done that work.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By: Dr. Bob Kemerait In my wheelhouse, planting field corn is once again upon us, or soon will be.\u00a0 I know I get repetitive, but the message at this point is the same.\u00a0 Corn growers will have one chance to fight nematodes, IF they need to.
