Managing drought stress is a hot topic at BASF’s Showcase Plot Tour at their Midwest Research Farm in Seymour, Illinois today.
The latest US Drought Monitor shows more than 92% of the Midwest is abnormally dry with at least 75% of that area in moderate to extreme drought. The level of drought intensifies further west into Nebraska and Kansas.
BASF Marketing Director for US Ag Solutions Brady Spangenberg tells Brownfield the key to crop health during dry conditions is minimizing stress on the plant and one of the best ways to do that is with fungicides.
