Many eastern Corn Belt fields planted in mid-April when farmers got off to an early start have started to show symptoms of seedling blights. Symptoms include uneven stands, stunted seedlings or reduced plant vigor.
They can be caused by a number of scenarios, such as damage from cold temperatures, nutrient deficiencies, herbicide or anhydrous ammonia injury, wireworms or "wet feet," but also could be caused by seedling blights from fungi or fungal-like organisms.
"Seedling blights are prevalent when cool, wet soil conditions persist after planting," said Kiersten Wise, an associate professor of plant pathology at Purdue University.
Identifying genetic differences between animals in the Charolais breed for economically important traits which allow producers to make informed breeding decisions is how I would define the purpose of the Charolais performance programs and genetic evaluation.
The byproduct of industry: Hundreds of thousands of square feet of commercial buildings have flat roofs. One style of roofing for these flat surfaces is what is called “ballasted” roofing. Yes, ballasted, as in weighed down.
