Some ugly stalk rots starting to show up in areas of Indiana. Something to watch out for this fall. Best thing to do is prioritize the fields that have it and get the corn out of the field asap.

"Delaying harvest increases the risk of pod and stem blight, because plants are likely to be exposed to cool and wet conditions that favor disease development. Thus, timely harvest will help reduce the risk of seed decay and preserve seed quality..."

Cover crops can help slow herbicide resistance!
Learn how in this HERMON video from the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Dr. Rodrigo Werle.

🌱Test this fall. Know your SCN levels. Make a plan for next season.
When is the best time to test for soybean cyst nematode (SCN)....and why is it fall?
1. Peak egg levels
2. Allows for mgmt decisions
3. You can still get into your fields

Farmers are the true innovators. Part of our job is figuring out which innovations can be applied to more acres.
Would you believe farmers in the 1950s and ’60s were conducting on-farm research on erosion management?
Tune in to our latest episode with @kentuckycrops to hear about these early trials and what they can still teach us today.

Corn stalk rots cost farmers $4.2 billion in the past five years.
Test stalk integrity using the pinch test. Prioritize harvest for a field if 10%+ stalks are rotted.

There are five major mycotoxins associated with ear rots. Toxic effects vary by type, concentration, exposure, and animal species.
If a field has kernel or ear rot problems (10%+ of ears are moldy), test for mycotoxins.
