Another pathogen like soybean cyst nematode, it can be complete crop loss. And so knowing that you have that, the treatment for that, the only one that's available is quite expensive. And so most people wouldn't just automatically go ahead and put that seed treatment on there.

But if you know that you have the potential to lose 60% of your yield, then yeah, you're probably going to want to spend that plus $20 for that seed treatment.

No, not with red crown rot. Red crown rot is kind of a binary. It's a yes or no. Kind of like tar spot and northern corn leaf blight. We don't really put risk levels on there. We tell you that your field is infected. You need to do something about it.

Well, so we specifically look for the ones that are robbing the biggest part of the yield. And we went out, we got really good samples of those. We DNA sequenced them. We have our own library of this DNA so that we know that what we're seeing is what we're seeing. Okay.

So it's kind of like guilt or innocence.

I'm interested. It's like pass or fail. Yeah. And so we're actually doing some work with universities in the Midwest where we're identifying the fields with red crown rot so that they can then test different fungicides for efficacy.

It's very nascent in the seed industry. So I don't know that there's been a lot of work on varietal selection for red crown rot.
