Weed Management Guides
One of the great utilities of using the internet is
accessing production management resources. Many extension
services make available several production guides that
make for quick reference on pesticide recommendations.
It’s Tan Spot Time!
Determine Whether a Disease Management Strategy is Needed
for Your Spring Wheat Crop
In southern Minnesota, many early seeded wheat fields
are approaching the 4-5 leaf stage. Weather factors,
varietal disease resistance levels, and the type of crop
residue nearby, or in the field are important in
determining the potential for disease development.

Seedling Blights of Corn
A number of factors may contribute to poor corn stands
early in the growing season. Seed decay and seedling
blights may certainly cause a rotting or deterioration of
ungerminated seed, pre-emergence seedling blight or
post-emergence seedling blight.
Profits from pastures
with rotational grazing, fertilizer
Pasture lands are an under-utilized and under-managed
resource in Minnesota. Rotational grazing systems, when
combined with adequate fertilizer use, will improve
pasture productivity and animal performance.
