A good time to scout for ear rots is …….. now!
It's critical to ID ear rots in the field because many ear rot fungi produce mycotoxins, which can harm livestock and humans.

Sudden death syndrome & white mold require early season conditions to set disease in motion, & mid to late-season conditions that make a soybean disease situation worse.

Although we’ve had early reports of tar spot, the hot summer days we’ve had should slow it down, which reduces the rush to get a fungicide on before tassel.
Tar spot develops under moderate temperatures.
Extended periods (30 days) of mild temps (64-73°F; 18-23℃) are optimum. Monthly temps exceeding 73°F (23°C) reduce chances of tar spot progression.

True armyworm populations must’ve been significant in this field but few remained this afternoon when I looked at the field. Of those remaining, more than half had eggs from a parasitoid. Biocontrol at work! #ISUCrops

This is so true. #Corn seedlings with Pythium/Fusarium root rot are often less vigorous than there healthier neighbors. They become weeds and produce small or no ears @ImSoyExcited

Can’t just blame fall N, too many factors at play including:
1. Warm, dry summer, fall, winter = likely higher than normal residual soil N
2. Warm winter ideal for OM mineralization = higher soil N available for loss
3. Lots of spring AA applied to warm soil, prior to rains
