#agrisagronomy GDD accum at Harrow 2026. Tried to break dormancy in Jan did not have enough consecutive days. Managed in Late Feb to to do that Most of GDD accum. of 130 has occurred in March. Another 150 to go before we need a lot of N

#agrisagronomy winter wheat breaks dormancy after 7 consecutive days of positive accum of GDD just getting there. Currently at 49 to 91 GDD since Jan 1 across area. 250 to 300 GDD is when we aim to apply Nitrogen Zadoks 30 stem elongation.

#agrisagronomy crop returns, fertilizer in the news, focus on agronomic fundamentals , soil tests, yield and marketing plans

#agrisagronomy Great Lakes Ice Coverage 43.8% still lots of open water in Huron to feed lake effect snow

"SDS management strategies include planting soybean varieties with resistance to SDS, managing SCN, using effective fungicide seed treatments, improving soil drainage in fields with recurring SDS, rotating crops, avoiding or reducing soil compaction, and maintaining proper pH and fertility levels. An integrated SDS management strategy is essential, as no single tactic is likely to provide complete control when conditions are favorable for SDS development."

@SCSAgronomy The corn stalks left to stand over the winter in this trial?

#agrisagronomy i have been getting questions on products that breakdown corn stalks and release bound nutrients. Admittedly i do not have first hand knowledge. I did find this chestnut from 2014 on a Corn Stover Project I was involved in. Testing corn stover fall and spring

Soybean cyst nematode isn’t slowing down. New research from NDSU shows SCN populations are evolving and overcoming traditional resistance. Testing your fields and rotating resistance sources are key steps to protecting yields. 🌱🔍 Learn More: bit.ly/EverChangingPe…

#agrisagronomy 2025 Hybrid Corn test plot initial results on TKW and Yield. Exceptional yields in SW . Lag and linear grain fill periods appears to have had good environmental conditions, balanced and adequate supply of essential nutrients, plant health, sunshine and moisture.

Yes working on finishing TKW and Yield analysis. Had some high TKW at 430 grams that is 59,125 kernels in a bushel 291 bus yield. Applied N for typical 220 bus got closer to 300 bus. 185 lbs. of actual N

#agrisagronomy Test weight vs Yield on corn 2009 to 2025 AGRIS Test Plots. No correlation to yield. Test weight is not a yield component. It is weight of kernels that fit in a 1/2 Lt cup. It does indicate grain quality, grade and finish. 5406 data pts. Avg Yield 203, TW 55.6

#agrisagronomy AGRIS, Haggerty Creek trendline yield on soybean plots. 0.6 bus/acre /year . In last 10 years have your soybean yields increased by 6 bus/ acre?
