On this episode of the I See Dead Plants Podcast, host Ed Zaworski speaks with Dr. Andrew Penney, a former PhD. student at Iowa State University who now works with Bayer Crop Sciences as a Technical Agronomist. Andrew shares his past experiences as a student working to understand different fungicide application technologies and how they affect overall yield. He also explains his research findings from his article, published by Elsevier Ltd., called “Comparison of aerial and ground sprayer fungicide application technologies on canopy coverage, disease severity, lodging, and yield of corn”.
