Fungicide Applications

Proactively use fungicides to preserve yield potential

STEP 6

When you purchase life insurance, do you hope you get to use it?  Similarly, when you proactively spray fungicides on your crops before obvious disease pressure appears, that recommendation is to preserve your potential yield. We would hope there is no disease present that we have to try and control. We would like to prevent diseases and capture the additional benefits that late-season fungicide brings to your personalized agronomic profit system (TAPS™).

Fungicide benefits beyond disease control.

IMPROVED PHOTOSYNTHETIC EFFICIENCY

(BETTER STAY GREEN)

  • Slows chlorophyll degradation 
  • Extended grain fill period
  • Higher biomass accumulation
  • Improved Yield Potential even when disease is minimal

ENHANCED WATER USE EFFICIENCY & STRESS TOLERANCE

  • Reduced transpiration under stress conditions 
  • Better plant performance, including:
  • Heat Stress
  • Drought Stress

IMPROVED NITROGEN ASSIMILATION & NUTRIENT EFFICIENCY

  • Increased activity of enzymes including Nitrate Reductase. This leads to:
  • Better N uptake and utilization
  • Higher potential yield and grain protein content

IMPROVED YIELD STABILITY (70-85% WIN RATES TO FUNGICIDES)

Example: Across Beck’s PFR Proven® 3-year dataset, Xyway® LFR® at 10.5 oz./A. achieved a 100% yield win rate and an 85% ROI win rate.

More Modes. Less Resistance. More Control. More Yield.

Fungicides don’t just protect yield – they help the plant run better. They keep leaves greener, reduce stress, and make nutrients work harder…so, even in a clean field, the crop finishes stronger. 


  • Triazoles = Curative (targets existing disease) + Systemic (plant health)
  • Strobilurins = Systemic (plant health)
  • SDHI = Long residual activity (plant health) + Curative (targeted control)
  • Multi-Site = Resistance Protection


The best programs stack modes of action, not just products. They control what’s there, protect from what’s coming, and keep it working longer.
