Fungicide can improve farmers’ bottom line

A technical sales specialist with Arysta LifeScience says farmers should consider fungicide to improve their bottom line in 2018.

Lynn Justesen says the return on investment is there.

“We all know the environment we’re in, in ag right now, with some of the commodity and banking pressure,” he says. “Those investments are worth making because we’re going to see a return.”

He tells Brownfield farmers can improve plant health and control diseases by investing in fungicide and insecticide. Tepera and Tepera Plus are great examples, he says, because they are compatible with starter fertilizers.

“We see it stable in mix for starters from anywhere from 24 hours up to seven days,” he says. Having that ability if we have a rain our or have inclimate weather we’re not going to make messes, it’s going to continue to stay in solution, and even if it does come out, it goes back into solution as well.”

After a year of variable conditions, Justesen says farmers should consider fungicide to improve production, protect crops, and improve their bottom line.
