At the end of harvest season, it is time to collect the data from the growing season and harvest and determine which management practices made a positive impact. Northwest Iowa Beck’s Hybrids agronomist Eric Bartels says that the timing and number of applications of fungicide made a big difference this year.

Bartels also provides a specific example of how fungicide use impacted yields.

Practical Farm Research (PFR) from Beck’s is comprehensive, unbiased agronomic data sourced from the PFR program which helps growers find new ways to better manage their farms and increase ROI.

Bartels says that PFR data from this growing season will be available to growers this winter.
