1 The Effect of Fungicide Treatment for Gray Leaf Spot on Silage-Specific TM Maize Jason Steffl Spring 2009
2 Background information Home is Redwood Falls, MN Farming system included corn, soybeans, alfalfa, cattle and hogs. Attended college at North Dakota State University. Undergraduate thesis involved potatoes Graduated in 1996 with a B.S. in Agriculture/Biotechnology
3 Professional Experience Started my career in 1996 as a field technician with Keltgen seeds. Focus was on grain corn Yield trial manager 3 years Nursery and isolations manager 3 years In 1997, Keltgen seeds was purchased by Mycogen Biotech company. In 2000, Mycogen and Cargill companies merged, and became part of DAS.
4 Professional Experience Product development agronomist 2002 Core crops Early grain and silage corn (<105RM) Alfalfa (all types) Soybeans earlier than group 2.2 soybeans Primary job roles Characterization of experimental products prior to launch. Train commercial/agronomy group on new releases Identify and research new agronomic issues
5 Fungicides Current products Fungicide Active Ingredient Company Headline Pyraclostrobin BASF Quadris Azoxystrobin Syngenta Quilt Azoxystrobin & Syngenta Propiconazole Stratego Trifloxystrobin & Bayer CropSciences Propiconazole PropiMax EC Propiconazole Dow AgroSciences Tilt Propiconazole Syngenta
6 Fungicide use and results Positive response to fungicide treatment in high-value crops including corn seed production. Grain corn production 2007 Iowa study Positive yield response to fungicide treatment was observed 77%. Only 27% of the time resulted in a profitable response 2008 University of WI study Only one location out of eleven showed a positive response (6.4bu/a). Though, it still didn t cover the application costs.
7 Gray Leaf Spot - Introduction GLS is caused by Cercospora zeae-maydis First identified from samples collected from Tehon and Daniels in 1924 in southern IL. Sporadic outbreaks between 1924 and 1980 s in TN, KY, VA, and NC. Government-made disease Federal incentives for reduced tillage practices
8 Gray Leaf Spot - Identification Early development of gray leaf spot lesion on maize (Ward, 1999).
9 Gray Leaf Spot - Identification Mature gray leaf spot lesions on maize with the unique rectangular shape (Munkvold, 1999).
10 Disease cycle of gray leaf spot in maize (Ward, 1999).
11 Conditions for GLS development Hybrid susceptibility/tolerance Hybrid maturity Planting date Previous crop and tillage practices >35% corn residue have higher risks Environmental conditions Temperatures between degrees F Relative humidity >95% Frequent precipitation and/or irrigation
12 Molds Molds continue to be an issue Molds are the source of dangerous mold poisons (mycotoxins). FDA estimates 1.4 billion dollars lost to the livestock producer Forage improvement, livestock production, and death losses. Forage with high amounts of mold is less palatable resulting in reduced intake of energy, dry matter, and nutrients.
13 Mold type and mycotoxin production MOLD IDENTIFICATION Mold Color Toxin Produced Comments Penicillium Aspergillus Fusarium Mucor Rhizopus Green to green blue Yellowgreen White to pinkishwhite White/ gray Black/ white Ochratoxin, Citrinin, Patulin Aflatoxin, Ochratoxin Zearalenone, Vomitoxin (DON), T-2 toxin, Fumonism None None Several potential toxins associated with certain species. Most common toxin producer in silage. Found in drought, heat-stressed conditions or insect infested fields. Common in cold, wet season. Certain strains produce extremely potent toxins. Found especially in sealed corn. Grows at low temperatures. Also found in manures and soils. Requires high moisture and an advanced decay mold. Common bread mold. Cladosporium White None Produces yeast like symptoms. Grows at low temperatures.
14 Objectives Primary The effect of fungicide treatments Quantity (tons per acre) Quality (milk per ton) Profitability Compare two different classes of fungicides Propiconazole Pyraclostrobin Compare two different hybrid types Brown Mid-Rib (BMR) Non-BMR
15 Objectives - continue Secondary Effects of fungicide treatments Mold concentrations in harvested silage prior to storage and fermentation processes

29 Data Analysis JuMP 7 Analysis of variance Student t-tests Monte Carlo simulation software Probability of economic return based on both treatments and hybrid types. Utilizes the data set from the trial and randomly generates possible outcomes based on input values and model. Two different scenarios were used
30 Monte Carlo Scenarios Scenario 1 ($/acre, based on silage tons/acre) Primary customer is a contract silage producer D = (Y x R) - C Y (yield difference) = Y (treated) - Y (untreated) R (price of silage) = Price range of $25.00/ton - $35.00/ton C (cost of fungicide treatment) For propiconazole, C = $16.50/acre = ($9.50/ac fungicide cost + $7.00/ac application) For pyraclostrobin, C = $21.00/acre = ($14.00/ac fungicide cost + $7.00/ac application)
31 Monte Carlo Scenarios Scenario 2 ($/acre, based on Milk per acre) Primary customer is the dairy producer N = (M x P) - C M (milk difference) = M (treated) - M (untreated) P (Price of milk) = Price range of $ $0.18/lb C (Cost of fungicide treatment) For propiconazole, C = $16.50/acre = ($9.50/ac fungicide cost + $7.00/ac application) For pyraclostrobin, C = $21.00/acre = ($14.00/ac fungicide cost + $7.00/ac application)

46 Mold results Results showed a wide range of values with a large degree of variability. The mean mold counts between treatment were not significantly different. No observed significant difference of mold counts among the different treatments for each hybrid, except for F2F797 at Mt. Vernon. York, NE had the highest mean for mold counts.
47 Mold type and concentration by treatment across all hybrids.
48 Conclusion GLS disease pressure Location characteristics do not support high risk of infection. Soybean or wheat rotation Some form of tillage reducing any remaining corn residue. Speculate that the infection reported in 2009 was from secondary sources (fields)
49 Conclusion - continue Predicting success of fungicide applications. Pre-plant observations Hybrid susceptibility Hybrid maturity and/or planting date Corn crop residue and tillage practices History of the location Observations prior to fungicide application Presence and severity of diseases present Weather outlook
50 Conclusion continue Differences in management of silage production Harvest date of silage (R5) is typically >15 days prior to grain harvest. Less time available for GLS to compromise stalk quality and standability. Harvest of the whole plant reduces the amount of residue on the soil. The majority of residue left is the 8-10 inches of the bottom stalk.
51 Future research Repeat of fungicide study with emphasis on the BMR hybrids only. Reduce entries Increase reps to four per location Focus testing efforts on high risk areas Additional research to investigate the potential for silage yield suppression observed from the application of propiconazole.
