Whether it’s the Carolinas, the Corn Belt or the Northeast, growers falling victim to late-season flooding have their work cut out for them to plan for spring recovery

2022 has had its share of challenges: a wet start, drought, corn root worm, soybean gall midge, pigweed, and (my favorite) tar spot. And now, as we approach harvest, we face final challenges like ear and crown rot.
Whether your crops get hit with drought or hail, challenging weather during the growing season increases the potential for feed contaminants such nitrates or molds which cause mycotoxins. This article from South Dakota State University focuses on mycotoxins and how to manage them.
A good way to determine whether you have a major ear rot problem this year is to quantify the disease and get suspect samples tested for mycotoxins, says Ohio State University Extension.
Late-harvested corn may be at risk because of western bean cutworms that have infested some fields, leaving some damaged crops susceptible to toxin-contaminated mold.
A new, phosphite-based fungicide designed for improved suppression of deoxynivalenol in wheat and barley infected by Fusarium head blight has been introduced by Verdesian Life Sciences.
It is already the third week of October and most of the corn is still standing in the field. Some of the earlier-planted fields are being harvested, but at relatively high moisture levels.
Recent surveys indicate that 20% of the fields in Pennsylvania do not have a current soil test. With high yields, the plant food contained in the soil is depleted more rapidly.
Fields that flowered 2 to 3 weeks ago will be starting to show the symptoms of head scab now. These symptoms are easiest to see before the wheat turns straw-colored.
