Soils act as vast reservoirs for the Earth's carbon, and even a minor alteration in the soil's carbon content can have a profound effect on the stability of our atmosphere. Scientists have recently recognized the substantial carbon storage capacity within soil fungal networks, particularly the mycorrhizal mycelial network. Up to 36% of annual global carbon emissions are stored within this network.
Applying fungicide at the right time maximizes profits, Beck’s Practical Farm Research (PFR) seven-year data found, later concluding that adding a fungicide at the R3 growth stage results in a return on investment of $17.68 per acre.
As planting gets started, you may be considering what management practices will increase soybean yields. In 2021, Nebraska farmers completed a three-year on-farm research study which evaluated a suite of management practices that could increase soybean yield and profitability.
Findings from Beck’s Practical Farm Research indicate closing wheels, planting dates and application timing impact ROI for your no-till corn and soybeans.

Lebanon, Pa., no-tiller Darren Grumbine discusses some of the nutritional challenges he’s faced no-tilling corn and the new approach he took this year feeding nutrients to the crop when they’re needed using tissue tests and on-farm trials.
Elwood, Ind., no-tiller Rick Williams discusses his transition to twin-row, no-till corn with in-furrow fertilizer, timing strategies for multi-stage fungicide application and the value of farm trials on his 650-acre corn and soybean operation.
Years of fungicide application research demonstrate that the single best time to apply a fungicide to corn for gray leaf spot control is from VT-R1, says Kansas State University Extension.
If soybean fields are at the R3 to early R4 growth stage, the potential for return on fungicide will be greater where foliar diseases are present, says University of Nebraska Extension.
