Fusarium stalk rot causes shredded pith that may be tan to light pink. Brown streaks may be observed on the lower internodes. The fungi overwinter in corn residue, other dead plant residue, and in corn seed. Resistance to Fusarium stalk rot is available. Rotation and tillage

Barley yellow dwarf (BYD) of wheat is widespread throughout the U.S. and Canada. Aphids that carry the virus overwinter in winter wheat and can spread the virus to spring wheat. Varieties resistant to BYD are available. Altering planting date can help avoid virus transmission to

Office view 2.0: Kinda like Deja vu, but the view from a few weeks ago is a bean header

Cotton boll rots are caused by numerous fungi and bacteria. Identifying the primary pathogen is difficult due to non disease-causing fungi on rotten bolls. Yield losses are greater with frequent rainfall and dense crop canopies. Fusarium boll rot is the most common boll rot in

Cotton Jassids Detected in Tensas Parish Cotton Fields

Symptoms caused by Soybean vein necrosis  virus (SVNV) are common in Alabama. SVNV often begins as yellowing near leaf veins that develops into reddish-brown lesions that spread along leaf veins, resulting in necrosis of tissue @CropNetwork @baldpathologist @yztanet #Virus

From historic spring rains to a challenging mid-summer dry spell, Drew shares his observations on how growers navigated a season of extremes.  For more episodes from the Crop Doctors, visit our website at https://t.co/etqU1Ea8FH

For the record…..his string continues. We podcast with him and it rains. Yep….he’s a witch @DMGholson @JasonABond

Harvest ended a year of ups and downs for Mississippi’s rice producers, with acreage up but average yield down because of numerous challenges. Read the crop report here: https://t.co/EzRs8i0LXv #mscrops #MSUext

Greensnap can be a serious issue, where vulnerability can vary greatly among #hybrids. Unfortunately, we saw dramatic effects in this irrigated #corn plot grown by David Taylor near Sledge. Thanks to David, Drew, Jay, 8 seed companies and all involved. 🌽#mscorn #MSUext

Plant pathogens caused an astonishing estimated yield loss of 560 million bushels, valued at $2.9 billion USD, between 2018 and 2021. 🌾 Read the article by @NDSUcerealpath et al. to learn more: https://t.co/71t8jM6q6B

Commercial Biostimulant Seed Treatments Showed Minimal Impact on Soybean Seed Yield across the United States @ColetFabiano & @StepUpSoy led @SoybeanScience1 collaboration

Ear rot & mycotoxin issues during #harvest25? Set the combine to harvest clean, whole kernels, as aflatoxins & fumonisins are often concentrated in light, damaged kernels. To minimize kernel damage, use the lowest possible cylinder speed necessary to shell grain effectively
