The University of Missouri Certified Strip Trial Program has offered Missouri soybean farmers the opportunity to conduct side-by-side comparisons of fungicides. Strip trials can also be done for nutrient management, cover crops, seed treatments for soybean cyst nematodes. Some participating farmers conduct multiple trials in different fields. The goals are to find how well certain fungicides control disease and how the fungicides effect soybean yield. Growers can choose the fungicide they want to have in their comparisons. The first two years of the trials looked at fungicide efficacy at individual locations.
