It’s always amazing to see apparently still-thriving winter annual weeds underneath the snow or following some really cold weather.

With the recent cold weather and varying degrees of injury, growers are looking for ways to help their young corn recover.

It has been a long cold winter with record low temperatures. This has led to some growers wondering if they still have to worry about plant diseases this growing season. As cold as it has been this winter, it may not have been cold enough for plant pathogens to die. Fungal pathogens have survival structures that enable them withstand very harsh weather conditions.

Let’s face it — the reason there are more kinds of bugs in the South is because it’s a warmer environment.

Conditions have been unusually cold throughout Kansas during most of December.

We have been receiving reports since corn harvest began this fall about an unusual phenomenon: yields of the outside 8 to 24 rows on the south or west edges of corn fields show lower or much lower yields than corn farther into the field.

The optimum timing of fall herbicide treatments can vary based on life cycle. The timing of frost impacts which weed you can control and when.
