Fusarium stalk rot causes shredded pith that may be tan to light pink. Brown streaks may be observed on the lower internodes.

The fungi overwinter in corn residue, other dead plant residue, and in corn seed.

Resistance to Fusarium stalk rot is available. Rotation and tillage @DTelenko @badgercropdoc @MandyBish1 @MartinChilvers1 @maddishires @alisonrISU @tjcksn @baldpathologist @alabamaED @travisfaske @ppp_trey @MahDuffeck @cropdoc08 @NationalCorn #corn #harvest25

Very interesting results were obtained from using biostimulants in soybean production in the U.S.

"Among 100 growing environments in 22 states, there was no product that consistently improved soybean yield compared to the non-treated control"
