Samples of Tar Spot in Corn Needed for Research
Crop Quality Hurt by Rains
Know Your Mycotoxins
With the harvest underway throughout Iowa, rain in some parts of the state is stopping combines from securing kernels from the field. Depending on your location, disease pressure might not have been high. However, rainfall patterns throughout the season, and even over the last several weeks, means we are not out of the woods yet.
