Wheat Production
- Wheat Disease Update: Risk of Scab Increases with Rains. A survey of fields in western Nebraska finds diseases developing in what appear to be healthy fields. Growers are encouraged to continue careful scouting in the field.
- List of Wheat Fungicides, Efficacy, and Preharvest Intervals
- Nebraska Corn at Elevated Risk for Stewart's Wilt and Flea Beetle Damage. An unusually warm winter likely means a higher survival of the insect that vectors Stewart's Wilt.
- Scout Emerged Corn for Early Season Insects. As corn emerges, be on the look-out for cutworms, wireworms, and white grubs. Scout even if you planted Bt hybrids or treated seed since high insect numbers can still overwhelm these protective measures.
