Pioneer Agronomy: Indiana

Later-Season Decisions in Disease Hotbeds

In this episode of the Indiana Pioneer Agronomy Podcast, hosts Carl Joern and Ben Jacob discuss what happens when you have premature death, whether from disease or from early frost. At what point does that photosynthetic shutdown affect your yield? The short answer is, the earlier it happens in that plant's life, the more yield will be affected. The group also discusses deciding when and where to deploy resources when things get tight.
