Fungicide Decision Making Tool

by Michael Langemeier

This spreadsheet can be used to examine whether it is beneficial to apply fungicide to corn.  Information needed to examine the decision includes the following: yield improvement, crop price, reduction in crop price discount, treatment and application cost, and additional seed cost.  Sensitivity analysis pertaining to the change in yield improvement, the change in corn price, change in the crop price discount, and the change in treatment and application cost can be conducted.
