The grain fill period begins with successful pollination and initiation of kernel development, and ends approximately 60 days later when the kernels are physiologically mature. During grain fill, the developing kernels are the primary sink for concurrent photosynthate produced by the corn plant.
Yield potential in corn is influenced at several stages of growth and development.
Southern Rust: Southern rust was officially confirmed in Posey County this week. We currently have two positive counties and one probable in Indiana.
We have been getting lots of inquiries lately about fields that didn’t get planted to a corn or soybean crop, and have lots of weeds growing in them.
Reports from those checking fields indicate that brown stink bugs were busy this spring feeding on seedling corn.
The consequences of flooding, ponding, and saturated soils on young corn depend heavily on the duration of the stress and temperatures.
The female moths are attracted to many hosts, tall, early lush corn being one.
The consequences of flooding, ponding, and saturated soils on young corn depend heavily on the duration of the stress and temperatures.
To facilitate speedy planting between rain showers many growers are skipping starter fertilizer. What might be the consequences?
Recovery from early season damage to corn is strongly dependent on the health of the main (apical) growing point region following the damage.
