Rains create fungicide shortage in southern US
Date:07-09-2008
Following heavy rainfall in June, many older soybeans in central Louisiana, Southern US, were treated with fungicides, says Roger Carter of Agricultural Management Services. The need to use fungicides in crops across the region have created a shortage of certain formulations.
“Quadris is practically non-existent,” Carter reported. “Stratego [is] also short. Headline and others are still OK thus far. Quadris plus Topsin was our standard where cercospora was a threat. We are using Stratego, Headline, or others at R3, then treating with Topsin at full rates 10 to 14 days later.”
