Last week, @PurdueCorn, assistant professor of corn production in @PurdueAgronomy, spoke with @WISHNews8‌ about @LifeatPurdue's innovative corn research and how it helps identify the needs of Indiana’s farming community. 🌽 Thank you WISH-TV for visiting our fields, harvesting plots and labs to get a behind-the-scenes look at how our faculty and students are turning research into meaningful insights for farmers.

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. @PurdueExtension @PurdueExtension @PurdueAgryExt

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. @PurdueExtension @PurdueAg @PurdueAgryExt

🚨 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. 🔗sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

New from Crop Protection Network: research-based guidance on hail injury and fungicide decisions in corn, co-authored by CORN Network member Dr. Dan Quinn. 🌽
Fungicide is often considered after hail injury to corn due to the plant health statements present on many fungicide labels coupled with the natural desire to take action following a hailstorm. An Overview of Hail Injury and Fungicide Use on Corn provides info to evaluate the potential benefits of fungicide application, and make the most profitable management decisions following hail injury in corn in upcoming growing seasons.
