N2 Novus Nowledge - The Art of Agronomy

Derek and Nick discuss the interaction of weather and planting date on soybean yields.  They also walk through fall herbicide applications from selecting a program to deciding which adjuvants to utilize.

Derek, Nick, and Rodney discuss their local harvest trends (or lack thereof).  They also dive into the specifics of fall anhydrous applications and why we utilize nitrogen stabilizers with those.  They get into a discussion on the importance of zinc and why you should consider adding it to fall phosphorus and potassium applications.

Derek, Nick, and Rodney discuss the early harvest trends from their respective geographies.  They also discuss how to maximize phosphorus efficiency in this high-priced market.  Lastly, they get into a discussion of whether fall-applied elemental sulfur makes sense for your operation.

Derek and Nick discuss some very early harvest trends, why some are seeing lower test weights in corn, and the suspect stalk quality in some fields.  They also discuss the extreme heat and low humidity impacts on mature corn and soybean crops, as well as the impact on the crops still growing.

Derek, Nick, and Rodney discuss how late is too late for soybean fungicide and insecticide applications. They also discuss yield impacts of stress on corn and soybeans at this stage.  Also, why are we seeing some tipback in corn this year, and how far away is harvest?

Derek, Nick, and Rodney discuss the late season stress on corn:  Southern rust, tar spot, nitrogen loss, heat, and ear tip-back.  They also dive into the question of how late is too late to apply fungicide in corn and soybeans.

Derek and Nick discuss current crop progress, and stress impacts on yield at this stage.  They also give an update on corn disease pressure, and discuss corn and soybean fungicide applications and philosophies.

Derek, Nick, and Rodney discuss current crop stage and ideal fungicide timing in both corn and soybeans. They also give an update on tar spot, Southern rust, Japanese beetle, and corn leafhopper pest pressure. 

Derek, Nick, and Rodney discuss potential threats caused by the heavy precipitation thus far in the growing season:  nitrogen loss and diseases (specifically tar spot in corn).  They also discuss corn and soybean growth stage cutoffs for herbicides along with potential insect pressure.

Derek, Nick, and Rodney discuss why our post-emergence herbicide applications in corn have been a struggle this spring.  They also discuss what to do if that application failed.  Plus, they get into some timely comments on top-dressing nitrogen applications in corn.
