Harvest season at The Kernel Lab!
We joined Dr. Dan Quinn in the combine to discuss harvesting research plots at Purdue's Water Quality Field Research Station and how excessive rainfall affected corn yields this season. Watch until the end for Dr. Quinn's combine cab essentials!
Our recent WISH-TV interview with Dr. Dan Quinn is now available! ๐ฅ
He discussed corn research at Purdue University and how it helps address crop management questions for Indiana farmers. ๐ฝ

Last week, @PurdueCorn, assistant professor of corn production in @PurdueAgronomy, spoke with @WISHNews8โ about @LifeatPurdue's innovative corn research and how it helps identify the needs of Indianaโs farming community. ๐ฝ
Thank you WISH-TV for visiting our fields, harvesting plots and labs to get a behind-the-scenes look at how our faculty and students are turning research into meaningful insights for farmers.

Some ugly stalk rots starting to show up in areas of Indiana. Something to watch out for this fall. Best thing to do is prioritize the fields that have it and get the corn out of the field asap.

Emerging leaf spot disease of corn under investigation in Michigan. Please keep an eye open for this leaf spot in corn and send a sample in to help with diagnosis @MSUDiagnostics@MSUExtension@MSU_PSM@MI_Corn@CropNetwork https://t.co/vVzl4lRYKU
On the latest Purdue Crop Chat Podcast: Dan "Corn" Quinn and "Soybean Shaun" Casteel with @PurdueExtension unpack the wild weather rollercoaster that left growers battling severe floods, lodging, and unexpected crop abnormalities.

Was able to spend last week traveling East-Central Indiana with @DTelenko and @PurdueSoybean. Very eye opening and disheartening to see the impacts from the early August storms and flooding on the crops in this area of the state.

๐จ New from The Kernel Lab! ๐ฝ
Can narrower rows help when pushing seeding rates?
20-in (51-cm) rows enhanced yield at 3 of 4 site-years, and the response to seeding rate was more pronounced under narrow spacing at two site-years.

More members coming soon!
Purdue Extension wants to know what you're seeing in your fields and area after the extreme weather we've experienced this month. โ๏ธIf you or someone you know has a farm, please take a few minutes to complete and share the survey. Responses due Aug. 31. https://t.co/H7dwUH9r6b
๐ฝ Timing matters when managing foliar diseases in corn.
Drs. Daniel Quinn and Darcy Telenko discuss how well-timed fungicide applications can extend grain fill, increase kernel weight, and ultimately contribute to higher yields.
