Dr. Travis Faske from Arkansas State University and special guest co-host Dr. Daren Mueller from Iowa State University help us understand southern rust's pathogen and life cycle. Where did it come from, and what can we expect as we learn more about this disease that was so prevalent in 2024?
Dr. Mike Castellano provides insight into managing nitrogen programs and how to manage corn and soybean residue best.
Dr. Mike Castellano gives us an in-depth look at the science behind nitrogen, interactions with our soils, the process for creating ammonia, and the environmental considerations around nitrogen management. We also discuss the impact of residue and critical considerations for your residue management strategy.
Ear rots can lead to mycotoxins, significantly impacting grain quality and livestock. Learn more about managing these infections and the research looking at how the Viptera trait impacts the disease complex!
Ear Rots and Mycotoxins, BT Traits, and Viptera - Science and research at the University of Tennessee help us understand what to look out for and how to manage our corn crop!   Here are the links to the research - https://news.utcrops.com/2024/09/hot-topic-ear-rots-and-mycotoxin-management-in-corn/   Dr. Brown is an extension-research entomologist with the Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology in Jackson, TN. Sebe has statewide responsibilities for arthropod pest management in major field crops including corn, cotton, soybean, sorghum and wheat. His educational and applied research programs focus on the most important pests affecting these crops. Dr. Kelly serves as extension-research plant pathologist at The University of Tennessee in the Department of Entomology and Plant Pathology in Jackson, TN. The majority of her time is concentrated on the control of diseases in cotton, corn, soybean, and wheat. She is responsible for all disease control recommendations of field crops except tobacco for Tennessee. This includes the development of statewide educational programs covering cotton, corn, soybean, and small grains. More information can be found on  
Corn yields continue to climb - that means residue continues to build!  The market is full of "management products," how should we think about residue management and crop physiology?  Join Connor Sible as we take an in-depth look at his research, and he provides insight into best practices for growers!     
Snake Oil or Viper Lipids? Dr. Connor Sible gives us an in-depth review of the biological space, including biostimulants, biological controls, and PGRs!      
Which is more effective?  A plane, drone, or ground rig?  Tune in to discover the research results done over the past two years at Iowa State University!  
Fungicides are evolving to meet the needs of our crops, and application methods are changing to be more timely! How do these new actives respond to varying application methods and results? Join Daren Mueller from Iowa State University and Andrew Penney as we discuss the testing protocols and collection methods to answer these questions!   Research from Crop Protection Network - https://cropprotectionnetwork.org/web-books/fungicide-use-in-field-crops Fungicide Efficacy for Foliar Control in Corn - https://cropprotectionnetwork.org/publications/fungicide-efficacy-for-control-of-corn-diseases      
Bayer launched the Preceon Smart Corn System with a fantastic group of growers in 2023!  These groundbreakers helped pave the way for this exciting innovation in agriculture!  Andrew and I had the pleasure of hearing from several critical leaders within Bayer during the wrap-up event in Arizona.  Join us to listen to insights from these leaders as they discuss the Preceon Smart Corn System and the direction Bayer is headed with their science and technology! 
These emerging diseases are moving further North each growing season! Dr. Tom Allen gives us insight into management strategies and key considerations when/if they hit our growing areas!
Corn diseases, soybean diseases, too many diseases! Dr. Tom Allen dives into the science behind these emerging pathogens affecting corn and soybeans! Curvularia impacts corn similar to eye-spot, and Taproot Decline is easily confused with SDS. Let's learn together so we know how to understand what to expect as these emerging pathogens make their way north!  Click here to view the publication on Taproot Decline - bit.ly/4bsppuR Click here to view the publication on Curvularia - bit.ly/44QHYGm  
Round 2 with Dr. Rodrigo Werle and special co-host Meaghan Anderson - We discuss corn herbicides and critical considerations for 2024 and beyond this time! 
Managing Soybean Herbicides is becoming increasingly complex, and IPM concerns are mounting! Join our great co-host Meaghan Anderson and fellow nozzle head Rodrigo Werle as we discuss the intricacies of managing soybean herbicides in a constantly changing environment! 
Hear from the inaugural group of Bayer Preceon Groundbreakers from 2023 as they discuss their experiences using short-stature hybrids, the management tactics they tried, and their excitement for next season!
Dr. Casteel from Purdue University guides Andrew and me through the research on the impact of high-input management in soybeans.   We discuss the basics of success, including row spacing, timely planting, and fertility, and then go in-depth into the nuances of manipulating the plant with input timing and decisions! 
Dr. Shaun Casteel from Purdue University is back to discuss his research on high-speed planters in soybeans and the results of using digital imagery to analyze canopy and reflectance data to create yield prediction models!
How does high input management affect corn yield?  Dr. Dan Quinn from Purdue University reveals how corn yields are affected by population, fungicide, starter fertilizer, sulfur, micronutrients, tissue sampling, nitrogen, and more!  This jam-packed episode explores the results of the excellent research Purdue and Dr. Dan Quinn are doing!    Click here for the results of the studies referenced in the podcast! - https://t.co/NsrzNyXJQC
Dr. Daniel J Quinn from Purdue University gives us an in-depth look at the science behind his research on high-management corn.  Planting timing, population, fertilizer, application timing, and more are all discussed during this great peek behind the curtains at how a leading agriculture school is approaching high-yield management.    Click here to see his published results - https://bit.ly/DrQuinnResearch
It's an awesome wrap-up episode!  Dr. Shaun Casteel (Purdue University) talks to us about the importance of timely soybean planting.  Root development vs. vegetative growth and the impact of soil fertility!  Dr. Chad Lee (University of Kentucky) helps us understand the unique environment in Kentucky.  Vols, slugs, high-quality wheat, tar-spot, corn yields and more!  The 2023 agronomist episode has been an amazing series!  Give us insight into guests you want to hear for 2024!
