Foliar fungicide evaluation results for Iowa soybeans in 2023 at crops.extension.iastate.edu/… From @dsmuelle @NabinKDangal @EdgarNietoFungi @Jgonzacu @ISUExtension @ISUCropNews @CropNetwork @IowaSoybeans @soydisease @SoyResearchInfo #agtwitter
Figure 2. Disease severity of frogeye leaf spot (FLS) (upper), Septoria brown spot index (BSX) (middle) and soybean yield (lower) in plots applied with fungicide products and untreated control (UTC) combined across all seven experiment locations in 2023. All fungicide products were applied at their label recommended rate at the beginning of pod (R3) with a nonionic surfactant (Induce at 0.3% v/v). The treatments were statistically different for FLS (P < 0.001) and BSX (P < 0.007) but non-significant for yield (P = 0.245). The blue/yellow horizontal line across the treatment represents the mean value of UTC.
