1/2 Questions on Ear Drop in corn? Watch this video ! Variable moisture, fertility, maturity, silk dates, planting dates will all affect hybrids differently. All can affect stress on a hybrid at crucial point of tassel/silking and ear formation. @DEKALB_Canada @Bayer4CropsCA

“Traits themselves won’t kill weeds. Herbicides themselves won’t kill weeds. It’s the strategy that kills weeds” -Dr. Young. It’s important to consider a holistic approach to tackling hard-to-control weeds.

Each #SCN mother can produce 200 or more eggs in her lifetime. Worse, there can be 3-6 generations each growing season, leading to unexpected yield losses. We’re dedicated to protecting #soybean yields against this productive mother. #BeatThePest > bit.ly/2J3nCCf
