SWIA Seed & Crop Update

The Severity Estimation Tool is an interactive, web-based resource to improve assessment of disease severity and insect defoliation in corn and soybean. Build assessment skills for insect injury and making insecticide decisions or train field crews to accurately assess research plots.

First corn plot is in! 22 hybrids planted in just an hour and a half, thanks to our awesome team! @DKAS_SWIA @Asgrow_DEKALB

We’ve gotten a great start this week. Thank you @CarlsonSeed. Tall corn FTN trial as well as #Preceon. @SWIAYieldChaser @DKAS_IA @Asgrow_DEKALB

1st plot of the year. Continuous corn plot near Percival, IA #MoRiverBottom @DKAS_IA @Asgrow_DEKALB

Looking forward to following this corn on corn plot near Underwood, IA. Thank you Erik Pedersen & Pheasant Ridge Farms. Also big thanks to John Tiarks & @Dekalb_Asgrow team…this plot went in quick! @DKAS_IA @Asgrow_DEKALB

The Captain with some future All-Stars @DKAS_IA @Asgrow_DEKALB

There’s 2 very distinct geo’s in SW IA…extremely forgiving, well-drained loamy soils in the hills and the multiple river bottoms that can be challenging, but just as productive with the right management. Hybrid trial near Mo Valley, IA Thank you @AGRILANDFS

Planting is full send in SW Iowa. Heartland COOP Learning plot. Randolph, IA @DKAS_IA @Asgrow_DEKALB

Waterhemp is emerging along this field edge in Boone County, IA. I hope the first herbicide pass is prepared to catch these emerged ones before they get some size on them. #ISUCrops

@CarlsonSeed being recognized for their work in promoting DEKALB Asgrow & NCGA Yield Contest @DKAS_IA @ComClassic

A wise colleague once told me…you can’t think about corn all the time @ComClassic @DKAS_IA

Have an awesome group of SW Iowa dealers & growers taking in some San Antonio sites @DKAS_IA

Only a few herbicides are formulated with an adjuvant package that can optimize application in every scenario. Applicators often need additional adjuvants to optimize herbicide applications for the specific conditions. Check out Adjuvants with Herbicides.

“This research found no negative effect on plant stand and soybean yield from phytotoxicity caused by ILEVO® and/or preemergence herbicides...This means that ILEVO® did not increase seedling damage from herbicides and herbicides did not increase damage from ILEVO®.” From the article Using ILEVO with Preemergence Herbicides at cropprotectionnetwork.org/publications/u… by @cropdoc08 @dsmuelle @TravisLegleiter @cropdisease @MartinChilvers1 @ISU_IPM @badgercropdoc @AlbertTenuta +more #soybean #USSoy
