Warm temperatures, high humidity, and frequent rain and unstable weather has elevated the risk for many fungal diseases. Nearly all wheat, oat, barley, canola and pea crops have been, or will be sprayed with a fungicide, as application is widespread.
Fungicide spraying is ongoing in all regions as later crops reach the correct stage. Heavy rains beginning last week have forced many farmers to rely on aerial application over ground sprayers.
