Held each summer and sponsored by checkoff dollars from the Nebraska Soybean Board, Soybean Management Field Days update producers on research and disease pressures to help growers make profitable management decisions. One component in these field days has been the use of foliar fungicide applications to soybeans at locations throughout the state. For farmers thinking about input prices this fall, these applications would cost money. But Loren Giesler, UNL Extension plant pathologist, says in some cases, UNL studies have shown they can also boost yield.
