In this episode of the Indiana Pioneer Agronomy Podcast, host Brian Shrader is joined by fellow Indiana Agronomists Jason Geis and Kyle Quick to talk about Red Crown Rot. The disease has been in the U.S. since the 1970s, but it is relatively new to the state of Indiana. The group talks about how to identify Red Crown Rot and its differences from Sudden Death Syndrome. They also discuss potential management, yield impact and how to submit samples to Purdue University.

In this episode of the Indiana Pioneer Agronomy Podcast, host Carl Joern discusses crop conditions following recent weather events and a scouting update. He offers management tips for Phytophthora root rot, sudden death syndrome (SDS) and brown stem rot (BRS). Corn fields are coming into pollination which is the most sensitive part of the plants' lifecycle.

In this episode of the Indiana Pioneer Agronomy podcast, hosts Brian Shrader, Carl Joern and Ben Jacob discuss early season heat and the issues that can linger in fields because of it. With many areas experiencing higher-than-average rainfall and now experiencing excessive heat early in the crop's lifecycle, diseases like Tar Spot and Gray Leaf Spot can take over fields and reduce yield throughout. The group also discuss drought-tolerant corn hybrids and the importance of taking care of fields early and often.
