The percentage of Corn crop rated good-to-excellent (G/EX) increased 1% week-over-week to 72% (flat year-over-year).

The wet weather in some areas has made it difficult for timely herbicide applications, but it can also affect herbicide residual activity and potential crop injury issues.

What are the prospects for recently submerged corn fields or plants simply enduring days and days of saturated soils? The flippant answer is that suffering crops will survive until they die, says Purdue University Extension.

The Department of Health and Human Services touted the 68-page report generated by a presidential commission as “exposing a range of contributing factors” in childhood chronic disease, including poor diet, accumulation of “environmental toxins,” inadequate physical activity, chronic stress and overmedicalization.”

There have been several reports of poor control of grasses, especially weedy bromes and winter cereals following glyphosate applications that were made during the month of April, says Kansas State University Extension.

“When you approach the rootworm as just a problem that has to be solved, you’re not taking into account the animal’s biology,” Ann Marie Journey says. “You’re hitting it just at certain points or with certain methods or controls, and you’re not allowing yourself in effect to have a conversation to gain insight back from the rootworms about what it is that makes them successful in any given place."

Alyssa Essman, assistant professor in the Department of Horticulture and Crop Science at Ohio State University, has been researching integrated weed management strategies and how cover crops can be used to supplement conventional herbicide programs.
