Corn lodging, during rapid vegetative growth just before pollination, is not a welcome site.
Our soybeans have been off to a great start in terms of development this season with 30% of Indiana flowering as of July 7th (USDA-NASS, 2024).
Temperatures were much more pleasant over the past seven days (June 24-July 1) compared to the heat experienced in mid-late June.
As we transition into a new month, it is always good to remind ourselves about forage management practices that remain or become a focus.
2024 Corn Earworm Trap Report
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.
Last week, temperatures were higher than normal, and the lack of precipitation was causing lawns to turn brown, creek and lake levels to drop, and some crops to start showing stress.
Though more of a curiosity, and infrequent, it is refreshing for us to receive calls/emails of mysterious insects “threatening” the crop.
Managing forages for hay production requires much skill.
