Breaking Down Fungicide Decisions: Timing, Products, and ROI

In this episode of the Field Advisor podcast, host Kelsey Litchfield is joined by IL Soy Envoys Seth Wiley (northern Illinois) and Mike Wilson, CCA (southeastern Illinois), for a scouting update on crop and field conditions across the state. They break down the agronomic impact of recent weather extremes—from saturated soils to isolated drought stress. The discussion dives into pest pressure trends and fungicide strategies, including comparisons between generic and branded products and the economics of one-pass versus two-pass applications. They also discuss how growers are adjusting in-season management amid ongoing market volatility.
