Based on projected GDU accumulation, corn planted yesterday in Northern Iowa should emerge May 1 - 3. This will be the time to start to take stand counts. 👀@DKCAsgrowNWIA@Bayer4CropsUS
As farmers prepare to evaluate this year’s crop for the first time, learn about how corn and soybean stands are assessed and what to do after. 🌽🌿 https://t.co/EJPWp6IO15
Northern Corn Rootworm Beetles having a party in NW Iowa. Easy to see why we have to manage for rootworm even on rotated acres. DEKALB has great options with traits like SmartStax Pro, SmartStax and VT4P. @Asgrow_DEKALB@DKCAsgrowNWIA@BayerTraits
This new DEKALB hybrid - DKC108-64 - has looked outstanding in the field. It also contains the SmartStax Pro trait which has shown to have superior corn rootworm control vs. anything on the market. Talk to your dealer early. @Asgrow_DEKALB@DKCAsgrowNWIA@BayerTraits
I’ve been proudly representing DEKALB hybrids for 28 years as of today. Two great ones here I’ll continue to represent going forward. I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else as an employee or as a customer! @Asgrow_DEKALB@DKCAsgrowNWIA@Bayer4CropsUS
Heading into this week's Midwest heat wave, I wanted to post the current accumulated stress degree day map.
Calculated by adding degrees above 86°F for each day.
Example: if today is 95°F, 9 SDDs are accumulated
>140 SDDs could result in corn yield loss
Data: PRISM April 1
