A number of foliar diseases have made an appearance in corn across Indiana.

With brute and sudden force, the atmosphere is doing its job: acting like a fluid.
Precipitation over the last 30 days has been very spotty, the usual narrative when dealing with summertime convection.
Yield potential in corn is influenced at several stages of growth and development.

Designed to support on-farm decision-making, the Ag Climate Dashboard offers up-to-date weather data, National Weather Service forecasts, Climate Prediction Center outlooks, historical records and interactive tools for monitoring crop growth, pest threats, climate anomalies and extreme weather events. The dashboard also connects users to regional ag climate products and a variety of state-specific resources. State-specific pages, such as Indiana’s, link to tools and resources like the Purdue Mesonet and the Indiana State Climate Office. “We want to provide as much clear, well-organized information to producers and advisors as possible[Read More…]
Hello to all of our faithful readers! I hope that the 2025 growing season has started to wind down for most of you and that you’re catching a well-deserved break before harvest season kicks into full gear. I’m writing this post to request your help once again with completing a survey (https://bit.ly/soy-survey) as a part of national research effort between agronomists and weed scientists. This survey will help provide insights into current soybean production practices, weed management strategies, and opportunities for the implementation of alternative production strategies. Agricultural scientists from Kansas State University, Purdue University, the University of Arkansas, Southern Illinois University Carbondale, and the Iowa Soybean Association (in collaboration with the checkoff-funded North Central, Mid-South, South, and Atlantic soybean regions) would like your help in gathering soybean management information, perspectives on intensification methods (including double cropping and intercropping), and economics regarding these management strategies. We would appreciate you taking[Read More…]
When it gets very hot and very humid, people see the fields of tall, green corn and point the finger at these fields. Corn is not making your days more humid unless you are walking in corn fields all day.
Hot, muggy days in Indiana can get old, quickly! With all the rain lately, and higher humidity, it has been a challenge to get any nighttime relief.
The corn leafhopper (Dalbulus maidis) is a familiar pest to corn producers and pest managers in Central (its native range) and South America.
The post-pollination scuttlebutt overheard in coffee shops throughout Indiana during mid- to late summer often revolves around the potential for severe stress that might reduce kernel set or kernel size in neighborhood cornfields.
