Up until the first week of August, dicamba-related complaints in Illinois were minimal for 2019. The subsequent uptick in complaints, however, dashed any hope that off-target issues would be less this year than during the previous two growing seasons, according to the University of Illinois.

Researchers at the University of Nebraska and Iowa State University are pursuing an elusive goal: measuring rates of sap flow in corn in real-time, actual fields, and changing weather conditions. Their data on corn water use could lead to improved drought resistance.

Washington State University Extension sounds off on the good and not-so-good nematodes found in the soil and what to do about those who threaten small grains crops.

From the South Dakota State University Extension, here's how to differentiate between a crop injury and a bacterial disease. Holcus spot, a minor disease which does not spread, can hide in plain sight.
