In 2008 a program was initiated called Strip Testing at Regional Sites (STARS) designed to test various soybean management options.

In 2008 they agreed to test a foliar fungicide spray at the R3 stage using standardized protocol and multiple cooperators to obtain comparisons across environments.

Twenty four completed yield comparisons were received showing that with adequate soil...
