🌾 Does grain sampling method affect quality assessments? A Brazilian study comparing hand and pneumatic probes found no significant differences in measured moisture, impurities, or damaged grain in soybean, wheat, and dry beans. doi.org/10.1002/cft2.70160

🌽 How does restricting atrazine affect corn weed management? A Wisconsin survey found similar herbicide costs in areas where atrazine was allowed or prohibited, but slightly lower perceived weed control satisfaction where its use was restricted. doi.org/10.1002/cft2.70164

🌾 Cultivar selection matters in furrow-irrigated rice! A Missouri study found that hybrids RT7302 and XP753 had the highest grain yields. Field position also mattered, with 20% higher grain yields at the bottom of fields. doi.org/10.1002/cft2.70165

🌱 Can chlorophyll meters improve N management in sweet potato? A study in Brazil found that chlorophyll-guided fertilization reduced N use by over 70% in soils with higher N availability. However, starter N remained important in N-limited conditions. doi.org/10.1002/cft2.70162

🌽 Can intercropping reduce N losses in sweet corn? A 2-year study found that winter rye and yellow mustard intercrops captured up to 19 and 32 lb N/ac, respectively. doi.org/10.1002/cft2.70144

🌱 Can we predict cereal rye biomass? Using 135 site-years of Wisconsin data, researchers found that temperature, fall rainfall, planting date, and latitude helped predict rye biomass. The findings could support better cover crop management decisions. doi.org/10.1002/cft2.70157

🌽 Does corn still respond to N after waterlogging? An Ohio study found that waterlogging reduced corn yields by up to 25%, but plants still responded to sidedress N. The usual ear leaf N sufficiency threshold (2.75%) remained applicable after flooding. doi.org/10.1002/cft2.70156

🌾 Planting winter wheat this fall? Consider precision planting! A Michigan study found that precision planting in 5-inch rows increased wheat yields by 3–29% compared with conventional drill seeding. Learn more about the benefits of precision planting: doi.org/10.1002/cft2.70155

🥜 Does irrigation always improve peanut yields? A 3-year NC study found that responses to subsurface drip irrigation depended on cultivar. Irrigation increased Bailey II yields, reduced NC 21 yields, and had no significant effect on five other cultivars. doi.org/10.1002/cft2.70143
