"Overall, results showed that broadcast incorporation can be used to achieve faster planting without sacrificing yields compared to grain drills or air seeders, while transition to precision planting in narrow rows can help long-term improvement in wheat yields."
From the @ASA_CSSA_SSSA article "Field-scale comparison of precision planting, drill seeding, and broadcast incorporation in winter wheat: Effects on seed placement, yield, and grain quality."

Our recent WISH-TV interview with Dr. Dan Quinn is now available! 🎥
He discussed corn research at Purdue University and how it helps address crop management questions for Indiana farmers. 🌽

Spy on each weed escape in your fields by using drones to scout the plants plaguing your cash crops! Learn more about drone scouting in this HERMON video from Purdue’s Dr. Tommy Butts.
This video will answer the following question:
- What advantages do drones offer compared to traditional scouting methods?

“Seeding rates above the [agronomic optimum seeding rate] resulted in no benefit under favorable conditions, since higher plant populations mostly benefit from environments exposed to weather events that reduce population (e.g., hail).”

Sprouted corn, ear molds, and grain quality concerns are showing up in some fields this harvest. What does that mean for livestock feed? Shelby Gruss, extension forage specialist, shares key considerations: crops.extension.iastate.edu/…

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 will reduce inoculum.

“Fall soil samples collected after harvest (up to 6 weeks after the R8 growth stage) can be useful to monitor changes in [root-knot nematode] population densities or to make management decisions for the subsequent cropping season. Soil samples should be collected at an 8 to 10-inch (20 to 25-cm) soil depth within the root zone of the previously existing crop.”

Collecting fall soil samples? @GregTylkaISU reminds us fall is a great time to sample for soybean cyst nematode (SCN). SCN can reduce yields without obvious symptoms. Knowing your SCN levels can help guide future variety and management decisions.

Today’s #Harvest26 update comes from Paige Clawson, Southwest Kansas Corn Commissioner, who harvested their fungicide efficacy and timing plot last week. The Kansas Corn Commission collaborated with Dr. Rodrigo Onofre, KSU Plant Pathologist, on five large scale, 40-60 acre plots replicated throughout the state. This applied research investigates the impact of different fungicide applications on yield.
Results of the trials will be made public soon and can be found at kscorn.com/onfarmresearch.

Today is another Weedy Wednesday, a monthly spotlight on weed identification tips from GROW!
Suzannah Hale, a then-Virginia Tech graduate student with Dr. Shawn Askew (and now a University of Florida Ph.D. student with Dr. Eli Russell), has some quick tips on how to identify hemp dogbane!

When it comes to soybean desiccation, a small difference in timing can have a big impact! Dr. Mike Mulvaney shares what researchers at Mississippi State University are seeing when they compare applications at R6.5 and R7, including differences in yield and grain quality.
