Wheat Pete’s Word, Aug 2: Corn fungicide timing, leafhopper trouble, and N in dairy manure

Jul 27, 2023Jul 27, 2023

Green silks are slow to show up in some areas of Ontario — what gives?

It’s early August and most of the corn should be tasseled by now, but July weather just didn’t push the crop as far ahead as is expected, explains host Peter “Wheat Pete” Johnson in this week’s Wheat Pete’s Word.

Why late tasseling matters, why controlling leaf hoppers matters, and why fungicide timing on corn might need to be pushed later than usual is all on the list for this early August episode.
