In the latest episode of CropWatch Podcast, host Eric Hunt is joined by a team of Nebraska Extension experts including Nebraska Extension Plant Pathologists Tamra Jackson-Ziems and Dylan Mangel, Kyle Broderick, coordinator of the UNL Plant and Pest Diagnostic Clinic, and Talon Mues, Nebraska Extension instructor who share their insights from one of the most challenging disease years in recent memory.
From catastrophic southern rust in the southeast to white mold outbreaks in irrigated soybean acres, the team discusses how weather shaped disease pressure across the state and what it means for harvest. They cover fungicide timing, stalk integrity, ear and grain quality, and the late-season surprise of sudden death syndrome in soybeans.
