A precision agronomist with Advanced Agrilytics says he’s seeing increased crown rot and stalk integrity issues.
Jeremiah Windell covers parts of Indiana and Kentucky.
“I’ve seen instances this year and this month where in certain hybrids we’ve actually lost 50-60 percent of a field and they’re laying flat because of crown rot infection earlier in the season,” he says.
He tells Brownfield farmers should talk to their agronomist and try to target fields with these issues.
