Small Grain Fungicide Use Decision Guide


The Small Grain Fungicide Decision Guide is designed to help the producer or applicator determine if a foliar fungicide applied to the crop will return an economic benefit.

The decision guide is in the form of a Microsoft Excel ver. 4.0 spreadsheet, which is used by inserting the values appropriate for your operation. The spreadsheet will make all the necessary calculations. Examples are presented and a guide to possible values is included.

Generally, a yield increase of 10-15% will be attained from a fungicide application. The cost of the fungicide product, application costs, and the market price for the commodity are the greatest variables that will influence profitability of fungicide application.
