It is important to continue to scout for diseases in both corn and soybeans.
It is important to continue to scout for diseases in both corn and soybeans.
We are starting to see common diseases in the lower canopy of corn, as we were out scouting this past week as early planted corn has begun to tassel in Indiana.
The field crop pathology research program is continuing to track the distribution of corn and soybean field diseases in Indiana.
Corn growth stages are quite variable across Indiana but a number of areas with early planted corn about waist high.
The USWBSI is supporting a national research project to conduct fungicide sensitivity test of Fusarium from wheat and barley and we are looking for samples from grower fields in Indiana.
Wheat harvest will soon be upon us in Indiana. Fusarium head blight (FHB) or scab is one of the most important diseases of wheat and most challenging to prevent.
Aerial drone application technology has recently become available and may address limitations by providing greater agility to monitor and apply under conditions where obstacles and poor field conditions limit current pesticide application equipment.
Wheat is starting to head out across the central and northern Indiana, with flowering not too far behind. Our plots in southern Indiana hit early anthesis (flowering) last week and we put out our Feekes 10.5.1 fungicide trials out at Southwest PAC, Vincennes, IN.
It is time to keep an eye on wheat for diseases and scab risk. There are a number of foliar diseases in wheat to watch out for.
There are a number of resources available for monitoring field crop diseases here in Indiana.
