Scouting is similar for all corn ear rots. Starting at late dent stage (R5), choose 20 ears from 5 areas in the field. Pull back the husk to see the entire ear. It's critical to identify ear rots in the field as several ear rot fungi produce mycotoxins, which can harm livestock and humans. Contaminated grain can be difficult to market and may be docked in price. Find out more at Extension's cropprotectionnetwork.org/pu…. #AgTwitter #harvest25
