Sorghum seed fungicide use advised by extension agent
County Farm Agent Oscar Norby notes treating sorghum seed with fungicide costs only a few cents per acre and reduces kernel smut while stabilizing stands. Materials include Arasan Spergon Vanicide 51 Panogen copper carbonate and Ceresan M. Follow package directions, mix evenly, and allow fumes- requiring delay before planting for some products. Treated seed should not be dampened or fed to livestock due to potential illness.
