Outcome: Initial Outcome
Grain crop producers continually struggle each season with the decision of whether to apply a fungicide to the corn crop or not. A local producer called the ANR Agent to inquire about setting up a fungicide trial on corn at tassel. A new startup company utilizing a drone to aerial apply fungicides to crops was contacted about participating in the trial. The Clinton and Cumberland Co. ANR Agents cooperated on this project, setting up replicated plots with four reps being treated with fungicide and four reps being untreated. The Agents designed and flagged the plots, and the drone company mapped the plots and applied the fungicide utilizing drone technology. The plots will be rated for disease by a UK Plant Pathology specialist later in the season, the plots will be harvested and checked for yield vs the untreated plots. The plan is to continue to do fungicide trials in corn to give better recommendations to producers on applying fungicide in corn.
