Brief Project Summary:

This project part of a three-year study to optimize fungicide spray deposition to the interior of the soybean canopy to control white mold. Field trials will be conducted utilizing boom-mounted nozzles and drop nozzles to quantify the impact of nozzle placement, droplet size, spray pattern, application pressure, water volume, boom height, and adjuvants on spray deposition within the canopy. Previous findings indicate fungicide delivery through drop nozzles improved fungicide deposition to the lower canopy, increasing Sclerotinia control. Researchers will develop recommendations for optimized performance of boom-mounted and drop nozzles.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, applicators, extension specialists
