Soils are drying quick in SC. Watering up soybeans where we have the ability. Our early planted corn is approaching tassel where water demand is greatest, pivots are running! No great chance of rain in the forecast.

Thrips were noticiable in corn last week. They can cause cosmetic injury but I’ve never seen a treatable situation. Zoom in and they are visible on the leaf

Interesting nematode samples coming into the lab last week. Check out this Hemicycliophora spp., also known as sheath nematode. Impressive stylet and extra cuticular layer surrounding the body. Looking forward to additional #Nematuesday examples across the summer.

A couple of untreated seedlings compared with seedlings planted with AgLogic or ThryvOn. All at 5 true leaves. Thrips making an impact on untreated plants. Gaucho seed treatment or imidacloprid in-furrow spray looks good also. – at South Carolina, USA

The Pee Dee River Basin Council had an excellent Field Trip to Woodard Farms and saw a live Center Pivot audit demo from Kendall Kirk and the CPIT team. Thank you to Woodard Farms, the CPIT team, & @SCFarmBureau for hosting the Field Trip. @CUESNews

University Extension (including @NCStateCALS @NCExtension) has been working hard across the Southeast to tackle tarnished plant bugs in cotton. We are finally seeing impacts, encouraging growers to rotate insecticides and preserving beneficials. Let's hope this trend continues!

Contaminated hay means trouble for livestock, and this little pest may be the cause. Blister beetles can infest alfalfa, eventually incorporating themselves into hay. Learn how to manage these pests: t.uga.edu/8xv

Diplodia ear rot becomes more easily recognizable as corn matures. Look for brown, dried out ear leaves and similar husk symptoms. In addition, view the husk for pycnidia (black fungal structures), and white fungal growth on the ear #mscrops
