The moisture and humidity continue to come through in the Northern Plains. Syngenta Agronomy Service Representative Nathan Popiel reminds farmers this increases the risk of scab in wheat. “Fusarium risk maps have been blowing up. The risk is high across North Dakota, especially where durum is grown,” said Popiel. “It will be important for farmers to protect themselves from scab.” Some farmers may still have time to apply some fungicide. “We have Miravis Ace, which we launched last year. Lots of farmers are happy with last year’s results from the product,” said Popiel. “The product is part of the plant performance family. Farmers will get plant performance benefits out of that product, even in absence of disease. Where you go and spray it, maybe you don’t have disease pressure,but you can still get protection and still get a plant performance benefit.” Hear the story.
