Resumen
Descripción
The effect of nine different
fungicide seed treatments for
soybeans were tested from 2004 to
2007 at Keiser, Stuttgart, and Hope,
Arkansas. While seedling
emergence was effective across all
treatments, only three treatments
showed statistically significant
differences in partial returns,
defined as gross revenue minus seed
and seed treatment costs.
Comparisons of the regret a
producer would experience as a
result of non-optimal seed treatment
suggested that broad spectrum seed
treatment could enhance
profitability by an average of $32 per
acre with similar treatment
recommendations across a range of
seeding rates, output prices and
study conditions.
