Central Indiana
You might be making the plant more efficient in water usage but fungicide generally keeps the plants alive for 3-7 days longer than not spraying. So any moisture conserved by transpiration rates I would think would be negated by the longer life cycle of the plant. Unless you use a strobin fungicide on beans that apparently keeps the stems green for longer. Just putting my thoughts together but have no data to back this up. Dumb farmer logic lol
