🌽 Timing matters when managing foliar diseases in corn.
Drs. Daniel Quinn and Darcy Telenko discuss how well-timed fungicide applications can extend grain fill, increase kernel weight, and ultimately contribute to higher yields.

Following severe August flooding in parts of Indiana, ear rots and mycotoxin risk are important considerations as harvest gets underway.🌽

Could Indiana soybeans crush expectations? USDA projects a record 63 bu./acre, but Purdue’s “Soybean Shaun” Casteel is already seeing fields hitting 80, 85, 90+ bushels!

With harvest underway, higher diesel prices are adding pressure to Hoosier farmers. Governor Mike Braun's executive order expands access to untaxed off-road diesel to help lower costs this season.

A lot of knowledge, experience and dedication came together at the Beck Agricultural Center this week. Purdue Extension agriculture and natural resources educators, specialists and staff from across Indiana gathered for their annual retreat to learn from one another, share ideas and strengthen the work they do every day with farmers, landowners and communities.

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.

🚨 New from The Kernel Lab! 🌽
Can narrower rows help when pushing seeding rates?
20-in (51-cm) rows enhanced yield at 3 of 4 site-years, and the response to seeding rate was more pronounced under narrow spacing at two site-years.

Was able to spend last week traveling East-Central Indiana with @DTelenko and @PurdueSoybean. Very eye opening and disheartening to see the impacts from the early August storms and flooding on the crops in this area of the state.

We're grateful for the farmers, educators, researchers, and industry partners who joined us across Indiana this year for summer field days and agronomy tours. As combines roll and harvest begins, we're excited to see what this year's field data reveals. 🌽🌱

“Fall soil samples collected after harvest (up to 6 weeks after the R8 growth stage) can be useful to monitor changes in [root-knot nematode] population densities or to make management decisions for the subsequent cropping season. Soil samples should be collected at an 8 to 10-inch (20 to 25-cm) soil depth within the root zone of the previously existing crop.”
