Aspergillus, Diplodia, Gibberella and Fusarium are just some of the ear and stalk rots starting to surface across the country at this time.

How often could growers legally spray dicamba in 2017? Not that often, especially if states and the EPA adopt new use restrictions in 2018, say two Indiana scientists.

Without national funding to monitor for soybean rust, growers may have less warning of the disease's spread from this year on.

Monsanto is threatening legal action if Arkansas rejects its petition to scrap the proposed in-season ban on dicamba in 2018. The company prefers Indiana's approach, which will make dicamba a restricted use pesticide.

Louisiana farmers took the brunt of the rain and damage, but corn, soybeans, cotton and rice got wet in Arkansas and Mississippi, as well.

From tip-back to stunted ears or empty cobs, a corn expert weighs in on the common causes behind abnormal ears this season.

In this week's Crop Tech Corner, sorghum could make its mark on the textile dye industry, climate change promises to confuse perennials, and scientists dig into Fusarium.

Dry conditions in the I-States have taken a toll on the corn crop, but soybeans may yet revive.

Chemical options are limited and hand weeding must be done right to make a difference.

This invasive pest requires control nearly up until harvest, which makes it expensive and time consuming to manage.

With SDS starting to surface in the Midwest, now is a good time to revisit some common misperceptions about the damaging soybean disease.

The most recent work has highlighted microbial warriors in the soil that suppress Sudden Death Syndrome in soybeans.

The conservative estimate nudged production down to 14.2 billion bushels, still well above pre-report expectations. Soybean crop estimates were increased to 49.4 bpa yield and 4.4-billion-bushel production.

Widely varying crop conditions, tough weeds, volatile markets and dicamba drift are on the mind of farmers as August begins.

In this week's Crop Tech Corner, researchers dig into bacterial leaf streak of corn, a new disease-resistance corn gene and oil-producing sorghum.

Remember the Golden Rule, and think of your neighbor when it comes time to control volunteer wheat this year.

Between southern corn rust, pyrethroid-resistant soybean aphids and a recovering rootworm population, Midwest growers have plenty to scout for this week.

Low yields and fewer acres are expected as scouts fan out across the Northern Plains next week to examine the spring wheat and durum crop.

The disease is in the Midwest in plenty of time to do economic damage to cornfields, particularly late-planted ones.

Southern growers should be prepared to scout and spray most varieties of Bt cotton, including Bollgard II, WideStrike and TwinLink.

Remember that the Cry1F (Herculex) Bt trait won't necessarily protect your corn from damage, particularly in Nebraska and the Great Lakes region.

Early season damage may leave yield untouched, but larger doses of dicamba and bigger beans spell near-certain yield loss, studies show.

Low wheat protein levels for the second year in a row will create problems for end users such as flour mills.

Sorghum growers in Kansas and Oklahoma should start scouting, but light populations and good control options may give farmers the upper hand this year.
