The latest USDA Crop Progress Report indicated that 52% of the NC's corn crop was rated Poor or Very Poor. In this article I discuss some of the reasons behind those numbers and what lessons we learned in the 2026 cropping season.corn.ces.ncsu.edu/news/2026-โฆ

Introducing Dr. Osler Ortez. His experience spans coffee in Nicaragua, soybeans in Kansas and Argentina, and corn in Nebraska and the U.S. Midwest. His current work focuses on corn and emerging crops.
New from Crop Protection Network: research-based guidance on hail injury and fungicide decisions in corn, co-authored by CORN Network member Dr. Dan Quinn. ๐ฝ
Fungicide is often considered after hail injury to corn due to the plant health statements present on many fungicide labels coupled with the natural desire to take action following a hailstorm.
An Overview of Hail Injury and Fungicide Use on Corn provides info to evaluate the potential benefits of fungicide application, and make the most profitable management decisions following hail injury in corn in upcoming growing seasons.

๐ฝ Timing matters when managing foliar diseases in corn.
Drs. Daniel Quinn and Darcy Telenko discuss how well-timed fungicide applications can extend grain fill, increase kernel weight, and ultimately contribute to higher yields.
