To get the most out of a fungicide application, coverage is key. WinField United Market Development Agronomy Lead Darrin Holder says it is important to get maximum coverage from every droplet. Adjuvants play a huge role in that. “You just increase droplet size with the wrong adjuvant, you decrease the number of droplets,” said Holder. “Yeah, you get less drift, but you also have fewer droplets to distribute. If I just have big droplets; I don’t have enough to get deeper into the canopy to give me extra protection so picking the right adjuvant is critical.” Farmers can maximize their trips across the field by adding micronutrients to the tank when applying fungicide.
