FUNGICIDE TREATMENTS PROVEN TO PERFORM

in Central Nebraska

At Nebraskaland Aviation, we’ve spent years redefining crop protection and customer care in central Nebraska. Our aerial fungicide treatment plans have helped hundreds of growers see improved crop production year after year. We’ve walked their fields, analyzed the data and worked alongside them to demonstrate the long-term ROI of our fungicide applications.

Our one-of-a-kind Plant Health Challenge allows growers like you to trial these treatments, and others, so you can see the results for yourself.

A low-risk, low-cost glimpse at more resilient fields

Signing up for our Plant Health Challenge allows you to make a low-risk investment in new treatment plans, so you can see the results before adding them to your full management plan. Our 2024 treatment options offer even more opportunities for healthier soil, stronger crops and higher yields by combining our proven fungicide treatments with additional protective enzyme applications and biologicals that further reduce plant stress.

Apply three treatments from our menu of options, each on a minimum of 30 acres and we will help you analyze and compare the data with your untreated acres.

The Truth is in the Data

The truth about fungicide treatments is this: they don’t just protect your crops from disease. They reduce plant stress and increase yields, which means more money in your pocket. We have the data to prove it.

The Plant Health Challenge has given us data spanning four years on over 30,000 acres in 20 counties across Nebraska and Kansas. It has demonstrated that when using our fungicide treatments growers see higher yields and increased return on investment.

Fungicide Helps Create a Cooler Crop Canopy As Shown in This Heat Map

In this 2020 Corn Plant Health Challenge field, a test strip was treated with fungicide. The strip can be seen in purple in this heat map. The purple indicates a cooler crop canopy whereas the red and orange indicate a warmer canopy. The fungicide helps to keep the stomata in the plant open, even when it’s under stress. This allows the plant to continue to breathe, which mitigates drought stress and helps the plant conserve the moisture and energy it needs to help grow the ear of the plant.

NDVI Report Showing Improved Vegetative Index On Fungicide Treated Crop

NDVI reports measure the vegetative index for crops allowing to visually map the crop health or crop vigor across your fields. This report is measuring the vegetative index on a cornfield in central Nebraska. The dark green in the map represents where the corn is a healthy, deep green color. This is also where the crop has been treated with fungicide.

An improved vegetative index is almost always predictive of higher yields, so on this field we can feel confident that the areas where fungicide was used will produce more yields come harvest.

Fungicide Improves Disease Resistance and Nitrogen Use Efficiency Resulting In Higher Quality Corn

In this example, a test plot of corn was treated with fungicide. The treated corn is visually larger and healthier with a much stronger root system. The corn that was not treated was covered in gray leaf spot. The treated corn (left image) was free of disease and had developed a strong roots system so they could pull nutrients and water from the ground. The untreated plants (right image) had to resort to pulling nutrients from the stock which reduced their standability and resulted in a lower quality ear.
