Some growers may have had no option but to plant green — as shown above — into their cover crops this year because of poor weather conditions. In this photo by Ted Kornecki, USDA Agricultural Research Service, the farmer is terminating his cereal rye with a roller at the same time he is planting his cotton.

”For those with cover crops, these wet conditions likely affected their termination plans, causing some to debate whether they should terminate before or after planting... , planting into living cover crops, commonly known as planting green, because they were forced to. In fact, some found planting green was better because the cover crops helped keep their fields drier, making it easier for them to drive on their fields and plant than if they would’ve killed the cover crop sooner. But there are many factors in determining whether you should terminate your cover crops before or after planting. In the next section are several questions you should ask yourself in when deciding on the timing of your cover crop termination...

How Damaging Are Corn Foliar Diseases?According to the Crop Protection Network (CPN), disease caused more than 10% of total estimated bushels lost in four of the five most recent data years (2014 through 2018), with foliar disease being the top culprit for yield loss... ”Your crop rotation and tillage practices also play a role in disease development... “A big factor that gets missed a lot in the fungicide conversation is that farmers can make an in-season decision based on scouting and reports of disease severity in the area, if they’re on the fence of whether or not to spray,” Wise says... ”Best Practices in Scouting for Foliar DiseaseIn fields where it makes sense to scout for disease first, Wise says you’ll want to be in the field looking for foliar diseases when corn is in the late vegetative stages, when tasseling is just beginning, as this is the best time to make a decision on fungicide application to prevent yield loss from most foliar fungal diseases... But for most foliar diseases, Wise says there aren’t set thresholds, so growers need to consider their risks in addition to their scouting report to decide whether a fungicide application will likely pay off...
