It's essential to test grain for mycotoxins if corn ear rots are a significant problem. Obtaining a representative sample for mycotoxin testing is critical for accurate results.

Corn stalk rots cost farmers $4.2 billion in the past five years. Test stalk integrity using the pinch test.

Red crown rot confirmed in Iowa: crops.extension.iastate.edu/…. For this season, there is nothing to be done from a management standpoint. However, confirming “SDS patches” are actually SDS will be important for making management decisions in future years. @ISUCropNews @IowaSoybeans

Cool temperatures, approximately 60-74°F (16-23°C), and moisture events are key drivers of tar spot development. A single fungicide application at the tassel to milk (VT-R3) growth stage has generally provided the most consistent protection of the canopy from tar spot and the greatest potential for positive return on investment (ROI).

“More often than not, it is assumed that interveinal chlorosis indicates the presence of soybean sudden death syndrome (SDS). However, there are several additional diseases and disorders that can cause interveinal chlorosis in soybean besides SDS. Some of these diseases are new to the U.S. and Canada, or are expanding into new regions, which can complicate disease diagnosis.” From Diagnosing Interveinal Chlorosis in Soybeans — it's not just SDS at doi.org/10.31274/cpn-2019082… by @cropdoc08 @baldpathologist @BorisCamiletti @febina_m & @dsmuelle. @DTelenko @DylanMangel @BisonBeanDoc @badgercropdoc @MartinChilvers1 @alabamaED @MandyBish1 @maddishires @travisfaske @ppp_trey @MahDuffeck #soybean #USSoy

Scout your fields! I've heard that week was tough on some corn in central IA as well.
ISU NC Crops@nciacropsMay 8
Looked at several fields of corn planted the week of April 20. Some serious crusting that is leading to uneven emergence and gaps with hard seed that aren’t going to do anything at this point. Now is the time to scout emerging fields to note issues. #isucrops

There’s 2 very distinct geo’s in SW IA…extremely forgiving, well-drained loamy soils in the hills and the multiple river bottoms that can be challenging, but just as productive with the right management. Hybrid trial near Mo Valley, IA Thank you @AGRILANDFS
