Last week, @PurdueCorn, assistant professor of corn production in @PurdueAgronomy, spoke with @WISHNews8โ about @LifeatPurdue's innovative corn research and how it helps identify the needs of Indianaโs farming community. ๐ฝ
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.

August storms in East-Central Indiana caused flooding and wind damage, with water above corn ears in some areas. Dr. Dan Quinn observed multiple ear rots and premature kernel sprouting (vivipary) in submerged ears.

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. ๐ฝ
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.

๐ฝ 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.

Immense flooding, waterlogged fields, wind snap - and questions about yield effects this late in the season.
@PurdueExtension specialists are here to find answers. Click the link to let us know how your fields were affected and if you're interested in having your fields monitored for the rest of the season.

Another thing to consider this year on top of all the rainfall we have had is the persistent cloudy days and lack of sunlight. Here is a snapshot of solar radiation data over the last 3 weeks in central Indiana in comparison to the last 5 years.

@seanblomgren did a phenomenal job of summing up this episode. What an awesome experience it was to sit down with Grad Students from @PurdueAgronomy & the @TheKernelLab. Very inspiring to know these great professors are helping train and educate the next generation! Remember the names of these students!!
The future of agronomy is in good hands.
Our new ep brings together convos with five @purdueagronomy grad students. From weed science to crop production, they are tackling today's challenges while preparing for tomorrow's

As we get further into May, itโs important to understand hybrid growing degree day compression and not pulling the trigger too soon on switching maturities.

It's a question many of us are trying to figure out: "What makes yield?"
In our last episode, we sat down with @purduecorn to get his take on what is most important for maximizing your yield. Find out now: bit.ly/4e2BGKt

The guys sit down with @purdueagryext Dr. Daniel Quinn to talk about what takes corn from average to high-yielding. If you are looking to take your yields from good to great, you won't want to skip this one!
