“Fungicide won’t save a susceptible hybrid from tar spot. You can’t fungicide your way out of tar spot,” said Matt Vandehaar with @PioneerSeeds. He adds that producers should be talking now with their seed salesman about high tar spot tolerant hybrids.

ISU Extension Nashua site yesterday looking @ reduced stature corn from Pioneer. Drought stress already shortened corn up, still large differences showing. Pic on concrete shows Brand X short corn on left, Pioneer reduced stature middle & current hybrid right. Coming in 2025!!
Volunteer corn plants are loaded with hungry Northern Corn Rootworm beetles in Swift County (WC MN). They are breeding and will lay eggs in cracks in soil to survive the winter. Good reason to control volunteer corn. @PioneerSeeds @SWMNpest
When we had a root pit open a couple of weeks back, we took soil samples at various depths. Since the roots were 40+ inches deep, we were curious what fertility they are pulling at depth. Interesting results, especially with K!
Know the difference! One is SDS, one is white mold. Notice the grey wilting necrosis associated with white mold, while the canopy shows interveinal necrosis with SDS @PioneerSeeds
Alfalfa starting to break dormancy in NC WI. All early indications so far look positive with many new stems growing from the crowns and excellent root health as well on this third year stand
Seed genetics matter—another reason we support transparency. You should know what’s in the bag when you purchase seed. Review our seed labels - Pioneer® brand corn products are 100% exclusive.
Chinese gov't has effectively banned #phosphate exports thru June '22
China accounts for almost 30% of world trade. This is bad for global phosphate prices and even worse for those highly dependent on those tons (i.e. Australia)
Watch for #urea similar action

Most Pioneer products keeping staygreen/stalk integrity & fighting off Tar Spot vs competitors. Tar Spot can shut down susceptible hybrids in less than 14 days. Talk 2 your local Pioneer sales rep about getting industry leading protection for 2022! Brown hybrids in pic r brand X.
Finding female CRW beetles getting close to laying eggs. The next 5-7 days will be great timing to get the insecticide on to prevent egg laying and protect the 2022 corn crop!!
