Corn at tassel and beyond in extreme southern Georgia from Seminole Co to Clinch Co to Wayne Co but not yet yet north of Mitchell-Colquitt- Cook Counties is at high risk for southern rust and I would advise a fungicide application UNLESS you are thoroughly scouting and can\u2019t find rust. I am sure rust is fixing to ignite in some fields and I expect to see a jailbreak north very soon. Keep the samples coming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peanuts<\/strong>– number 1 question now.,\u201dBob, it\u2019s so hot and dry. Can I modify my fungicide program under these conditions?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The answer is probably \u201cyes\u201d as long as you consider Peanut Rx and pay attention to changes predicted in the weather. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Growers can likely extend their leaf spot spray interval by a few days (17 or so days rather than 14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Growers in hot and dry can likely substitute a chlorothalonil tebuconazole tank mix, or something similar, for early sprays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Per phone call yesterday, we DO NOT recommend applying tank mixes of tebuconazole + Absolute Maxx, or azoxystrobin + Headline because of significant resistance risk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Hot and dry stifles leaf spot to some degree, but the \u201chot\u201d may actually fuel white mold. Now is not the time to slack off on white mold. I don\u2019t mean a grower needs to throw everything at it, but I mean white mold could thrive. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" by: Dr. Kemerait Corn at tassel and beyond in extreme southern Georgia from Seminole Co to Clinch Co to Wayne Co but not yet yet north of Mitchell-Colquitt- Cook Counties is at high risk for southern rust and I would advise a fungicide application UNLESS you are thoroughly scouting and can\u2019t find rust.
