Pioneer agronomist Matt Montgomery says he remembers trying to set up field trials with Gay and throwing his hands in the air as rain foiled their plans, for example, to study grape colapsis. ON THE CASE: Pioneer agronomist Matt Montgomery says Pioneer is starting to offer multiple modes of action with insecticide seed treatments to fight the reemergence of grape colapsis.

Apply golden and silver rules to pesticide use Matt Montgomery, field agronomist for Pioneer Hi-Bred, says the ag industry should draw its attention to the golden and silver rules. "When you're talking about dicamba in a state where you're growing about 10 million acres of the most sensitive plant species to dicamba movement, no volatility and low volatility have very different outcomes", says Aaron Hager, crop sciences professor at the University of Illinois. Illinois dicamba complaints are the lowest they've been since the product's approval for use on soybeans in 2017. [Extracted from the article]

With corn planting underway, Pioneer agronomist Matt Montgomery says it's important to remember that the kernel's seed coat protects against "hungry organisms" waiting to grab on to starch. Corn kernels are composed of two other parts outside of the seed coat, or pericarp: the embryo and the endosperm. They pretty much get broken down into the smallest possible particles, whereas horny starch can be used for many different things", Montgomery says, adding starch is the fuel for the success of the embryo.

Gray leaf spot and northern corn leaf blight will overwinter on residue to some degree, and conservation-minded farmers are leaving more residue compared to 30 years ago. When Matt Montgomery graduated with his bachelor's degree and started his agronomy career in 1994, there was only one foliar disease Illinois corn farmers needed to worry about: gray leaf spot. Gray leaf spot and southern rust are two diseases that prefer warm and wet weather, while northern corn leaf blight prefers a cool, wet environment, he says. [Extracted from the article]

Farmers are noticing more severe cases of yellow corn early in the growing season in recent years, and there are four factors that explain why, says Pioneer agronomist Matt Montgomery. Sulfur strip trials Montgomery recommends the growers he works with in central Illinois use strip trials on low-organic-matter soils to see if they would benefit from applying sulfur, as these areas are the most likely to show a yield response. "We sometimes notice sulfur deficiency symptoms more extremely in lighter-colored soils, which have less organic material, whereas darker-colored soils, they may exhibit sulfur deficiency symptoms, but not as severely", Montgomery says.

Duane Friend, University of Illinois Extension educator, says that as deer and raccoon populations have increased, so has their impact on crops. Wildlife damage is one of the more frustrating sources of crop injury in Illinois - and one that unfortunately lacks a good solution. "Occasionally people have looked at deer damage in soybeans and thought it was a herbicide injury issue because the plants are unusually stunted", Montgomery says. [Extracted from the article]

Soybean after soybean planting also often requires additional fertilizer and nutrients. When it comes to planting continuous soybeans, wise management is essential to get the most from the crop. Soybean variety selection and seed treatment can help fight pests and diseases, regardless of a field's history. [Extracted from the article]

The No. 1 pest for soybeans in Illinois is soybean cyst nematode, or SCN. Tactics for SCN control Choosing SCN-resistant soybeans and rotating crops are the two top tactics for fighting SCN. One heavy-handed tactic - to rotate the source of resistance in the soybeans planted on a field every other year - is an option for growers with hard-to-control SCN populations, Montgomery concludes.
