Iowa is surrounded by red crown rot but @dsmuelle has yet to find it in Iowa. Can you beat him to it? ALL SUSPICIOUS samples should be sent to the ISU plant and insect diagnostic clinic.

Red crown rot has not been found in Iowa yet, but in several states surrounding. Be on the lookout in 2026.

Oops - generic included application cost ($10) but name brand did not. So +$10 to ROI for 1 generic app & +$20 for 2 generic app. Also note - azoxystrobin is excellent against rusts. If another QoI used, OR another disease prevalent, differences in ROI may be different.
2025 fungicide trial results from @alisonrISU at ISU ICM Conference. Generic azoxy + prop had the best return. Fungicide paid best on susceptible hybrids at R1 but resistant hybrids were a loss w/fungicide.

Did you know that along I-35, there are multiple bridges and culverts decorated to resemble monarch wings? I-35 follows the monarch migration route from Minnesota down into Texas and has been dubbed the Monarch Highway. https://t.co/7ubbZvnDFI
