Not Everything is as it Seems: Fungicide Phytotoxicity and Plant Diseases

🕔17:45, 9.Aug 2013

Phytotoxicity following a foliar fungicide application is not a commonplace occurrence in our soybean production system.

Sudden death syndrome (SDS) is a common occurrence from the standpoint that we observe the disease annually but rarely does it impact yield and in fact we normally suggest that SDS simply means you’ve raised some great soybeans in that particular field. Keep in mind that SDS will only occur on light soil texture classes and normally not across an entire field as a situation such as phytotoxicity could.
