Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation In untreated control plots, gray leaf spot severity on the ear leaf ranged from 2.6 to 72.8% in maize.
- Observation In untreated control plots, whole-plot gray leaf spot ratings ranged from 3.0 to 7.7 on a 1 to 9 scale in maize.
- Intervention effect Fungicide applications with propiconazole or mancozeb significantly reduced gray leaf spot severity in maize in Iowa field experiments.
- Intervention effect A single propiconazole application increased maize yield by as much as 1.65 t/ha, significantly.
- Association Gray leaf spot severity was significantly correlated with maize yield; the direction of the correlation is not stated.
- Observation For one propiconazole application, the probability of a positive net return ranged from about 0.06 to more than 0.99 in maize.
- Observation The highest probabilities of profitable fungicide use occurred in the 1995 experiments with the most susceptible maize hybrid.
- Intervention effect A single propiconazole application gave higher probabilities of profitable net return than two applications in maize, almost always.
- Recommendation A single propiconazole application frequently can be profitable for gray leaf spot management in maize in Iowa.
- Association The probability of a profitable fungicide application is strongly influenced by hybrid susceptibility; the direction is not stated.
- Method / resource Calculating probabilities of positive net return was more informative than mean separation for assessing the economic success of fungicide applications in maize.
