The presence of ear rot diseases should be a key consideration when determining harvest timing. Fungi that cause ear rots can continue to grow, spread, and produce mycotoxins after corn reaches maturity and during storage if grain is not dry. Read more at cropprotectionnetwork.org/pu….

Thank you, @UTVolShop - On our way to Columbus! #GBO

Dylan Sampson for Heisman. RT to raise awareness.

Seeing is believing! 🐛🌿 #bollworm devastation on non-Bt cotton vs Bt cotton. A clear win for Bt and why we need to work so hard to preserve it! @AusCottonSci @Cotton_Guy @NCcropbiotech

Similar situation in MS @MSUExtService #mscrops @MStateCorn

Today’s corn finds in Richland Parish: -Curvularia leaf spot -Diplodia ear rot (see characteristic black pycnidia in cross section) -Trichoderma ear rot (note induced sprouting of kernels) @ppp_trey

The planting season has arrived 🎉, and in Mississippi, we have experienced a warm and VERY wet start, which has created favorable conditions for some of our soybean seedling diseases. 🌱🌱🌱 This is a great time to visualize how important seed treatments can be! In the first photo: the row on the left is insecticide-treated only while the one on the right is insecticide fungicide treated. Rhizoctonia has killed out the whole plot on the insecticide only rows, while the insecticide fungicide rows are still thriving after rhizoc inoculation. Even though we inoculate plots with the pathogens at planting - this does not ensure we will get the targeted disease. The disease pyramid plays a crutial role in each pathogens lifecycle and all factors (pathogen, susceptible host, environment, and time) must be present for disease to occur - and this year it looks like all factors were in favor of most of our targeted diseases to evaluate our seed treatments!

Got interns who will scout crops this year? Get them trained with Crop Scout School at cropprotectionnetwork.org/cr… Weed ID, crop growth, plant disease, pest insects, herbicide injury and much more!

Though you won’t see me in my graduation regalia until May - I successfully defended my dissertation to become Dr. Autumn McLaughlin 🎉👩🏻‍🎓👩🏻‍🔬 It has felt a bit unreal as a major goal has been achieved, but what I am feeling is immense gratitude for the knowledge, the experiences, the friendships and the mentors that I have gained during these years 🧡🤍 It takes a village, and I am incredibly grateful for the support. All the way! #firstgenerationgraduate #phdone @epp_tn

Happy Graduation Day, EPP Vols! We are proud of each of you. 🎓#UTGrad2023 #epptn @UT_Herbert @UTKGradSchool @tennalum @UTIAg

Honoring a legacy 💙

Amazed at what cotton breeders have achieved over the last century. The plot on the right has had no nitrogen fertilizer, no cover crops, and has been planted in cotton every year since 1896…but it STILL yields over a bale of cotton per acre.

GRACIAS from my ❤️. I said it before and I’ll say it again. God gets the credit and yesterday we ALL made history. @VolNetwork @Vol_Football and @UTKnoxville belongs with EVERYONE. Enjoy the FIRST EVER OFFICIAL SPANISH CALL. 🍊#VAMOSVOLS🍊 Thank you @SECNetwork for the spot.

Exciting news! We developed a method to induce infection of Phyllachora maydis into corn #tarspot 🌽 and it's now available online. Take a look and find the detailed method: doi.org/10.1186/s13007-023-0… @UMNMITPPC @ILplantdoc @EmRogge @CheckJill @cruzepidemiolab @UMNPlantPath
