Recommendations: 2019 Soybean Base Fungicides and Inoculants
•Base Fungicides•Cruiser Maxx Vibrance continues to be a top performer
•Preside CL inoculant provides better than 2:1 ROI every year and should be continued

• This is a very positive data set for the value of applying white mold seed treatment additives for white mold management under extreme, extended white mold pressure
• The White Mold Protection System (WMPS) from Rosen’s performed admirably in the plots• Yield gains are solid at 2-3 bushels per acre
• Highest gains seen when added to the top fungicide platforms
• ROI, is positive, ranging from $1/acre to nearly $22/acre, depending on the strength of the underlying fungicide, Average ROI: $16.92/acre
• RightStart Cover 2 VPH from Winfield United• Excellent results- 3.3 to 4.7 bushel gains
• In side-by side comparison with WMPS, the Cover 2 VPH provided clearly greater white mold control
• Yield Gains, ROI and even grower pricing favor Cover 2 VPHAverage ROI: $28.40/acre
