New episode this week! Listen here: sites.libsyn.com/416264/s4e38-b… I interviewed Dr. Deb Samac of @USDA_ARS. We discussed Deb's work with alfalfa and the disease bacterial stem blight. @ncipmc @CropNetwork @NAFANews

Southern Rust? Never heard of her. What Cheer, Iowa. USA. #pftour25 #harvest25

Know the differences between brown stem rot and SDS - @Talon_Mues with @UNL_IANR discusses how to identify them. Story and interview from yesterday's field day on @brownfield: brownfieldagnews.com/news/brown-ste…

@CropNetwork From central Iowa:

@alabamaED @ncipmc @travisfaske Mostly MMV and southern corn leaf blight.

@dsmuelle @ncipmc @travisfaske Did you see anything special?

Got to spend the last few days reviewing diseases on corn grown in Hawaii. Always fun to see what shows up in other parts of the world. @ncipmc @travisfaske

White mold is on plants in eastern Nebraska and the forecast is favorable for more.

Out scouting some local fields before the next storm rolls in. One field had a lot of SDS. Our research plots have SDS just starting. @IowaSoybeans @CropNetwork

Very surprising to see this early, but SDS symptoms have appeared in southeast ND. Soybeans were just getting to R2 in this particular field.

Are toads in your cornfield an indicator of adequate moisture? No idea. A more reliable method is to use crop ET or soil moisture sensors. Find links to some great cropwatch articles in the comments.

With diseases starting to pop up, a quick reminder that some of those popular disease prediction apps (Tarspotter and Sporecaster) are no longer active. These models have been move to the Crop Protection Network. cropprotectionnetwork.org/crop-disease-f… @CropNetwork

Too early for this post - but SDS, white mold and downy mildew showing up in parts of Iowa. 😬

Fusarium smuggling case spotlights need to follow #research protocols. Hear more about the process in our interview with @MSU_PSM's @MartinChilvers1 @brownfield #agnews brownfieldagnews.com/news/fusarium-…

I suggest bookmarking these 3 new tools to help make disease management decisions this year @CropNetwork @PurdueExtension @INCornFarmers @INSoybean @PurdueBPP @Ag_PMT indianafieldcroppathology.com/three-new-tool…

It will be a pleasure to share my Career Journey with the @LSU Graduate Students on April 14th. #LSUagCenter First picture I took when I arrived to start my career in the U.S. At that time, I didn't even know what @CropNetwork or APS meant. But that’s where my journey began.

In 2024, disease reduced corn yield by an estimated 6% in the U. S. and 3.7% in Ontario, resulting in an estimated loss of 963.4 million bushels.

@NicoleStecklein Umm. We only found some of these silly diseases because I thought it was something else.

Just watched @dsmuelle …. And pretty much concluded all bean disease if questions should just default go to the lab for proper ID 😂 everything looks like everything else
