A Season in Decline — Diagnosing a Failing Crop

By Kay Ledbetter

Glenn Carter of Armstrong County knew something was wrong.

In 2023, his corn began browning seemingly overnight despite his irrigation efforts. A seasoned farmer of corn, cotton, sorghum, wheat, hay grazer and alfalfa, Carter had seen drought, pests and disease. But this felt different. He didn’t know why his field was turning brown.

“It looked like my crop was burning up, but I was watering,” Carter said. “I didn’t know who to call at first, but I’ve reached out to the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service specialists in Amarillo on multiple issues in the past. They’ve always been there.”

Corteva Technical Manager Sally Harris assesses a September-drilled crop of Palladium winter wheat, representative of crops across the UK this season. With the crop drilled early and growing strongly, disease pressure is evident, but so too is strong yield potential. In the video, Sally explains the key considerations as the crop approaches T2 and outlines why Univoq™ is being considered to protect against disease and help safeguard crop performance.
