This season brought some of the toughest tar spot pressure we've seen in years, and Xyway^® LFR^® fungicide and Adastrio^® fungicide by FMC were ready for the challenge. In this Tech Talk, we break down why fungicide timing matters and how you can stay ahead of this fast-moving disease. See how Xyway LFR fungicide drives healthier root masses, better water utilization and extended disease control, and how layering an application of a foliar fungicide like Adastrio fungicide later helps to keep canopies full.

Fall panicum is a tough-to-control annual grass weed that thrives in wet, compacted soils and has a long emergence window. The key to controlling this grass weed is to apply a preemergence herbicide like Anthem^® Flex or Anthem MAXX herbicides in corn and soybeans or Authority^® Supreme herbicide in soybeans. Another option for soybeans is Command^® 3ME microencapsulated herbicide. A preemergence herbicide program helps keep fall panicum in check all season long.
