    We just finished monitoring week 3 of black cutworm (BCW) and true armyworm (AMW) across Ohio. This past week was rainy, but temperatures were warm which resulted in an increased BCW average but a decrease in our average AMW counts. Read below for more specific information.

    Author(s):
    Kyle Verhoff, Aaron Wilson, Nick Eckel, Jason Hartschuh, CCA, Kendall Lovejoy, Garth McDorman, Ryan McMichael, Beth Scheckelhoff, Ryan Slaughter, Ted Wiseman

    Alfalfa weevils have been in the growing degree days (GDD) window for peak feeding for at least a week and a week or two longer for some regions across the state. The peak alfalfa weevil feeding and damage window of 325 to 575 GGDs (accumulation from a base of 48°F starting January 1st). As of writing this (Jan. 1 – May 12), heat units range from 698 in southcentral Ohio to 388 in northeast Ohio.

  8. Corn N Recommendations: Maximum Return to N Calculator Updated

    Author(s):
    Greg LaBarge, CPAg/CCA, Manbir Rakkar

    Corn nitrogen recommendations in Ohio are generated from an online tool: Maximum Return to N (MRTN). It uses corn yield response to nitrogen along with a farm’s nitrogen cost and corn market price. The web tool calculates the incremental corn yield increase for each unit of N added and then subtracts the cost of N from the return to find the point where the economic return to N application is maximized.

Episode 144 – Dealing with DON
Agronomy & Farm Management Podcast Episode 144 – Dealing with DON

There is nothing more frustrating than getting rejected at the elevator due to high vomitoxin (aka DON) levels. DON is produced by a fungi produced on the ear and is usually infected at the time of pollination. To give farmers a better perspective of what happens behind the scenes at a grain elevator, we interview 3 grain merchandisers on their process when DON test levels start creeping up. Jason Beckman (Poet (https://poet.com/grain) ), Lisa Mitchell (Gerald Grain (https://www.geraldgrain.com/) ), and Seth Miller (The Anderson (https://www.andersonsinc.com/) ) take us behind the scenes of their operations to look at testing, grain flow and market impacts. We end with some quick reminders about DON management and to check the C.O.R.N. Newsletter (https://agcrops.osu.edu/newsletter/co...) for updates and research on corn fungicide and disease.

Episode 146 – Agrivoltaics
Agronomy & Farm Management Podcast Episode 146 – Agrivoltaics

Agrivoltaics is combining agriculture and solar energy production. In partnership with Savion Energy, we were awarded a Department of Energy grant to investigate the feasibility of forage production, grazing and impacts on solar health at the Madison Fields solar site near Rosedale, Ohio. In this episode we share the details of the project and what we have learned so far in our first growing season. You can follow along on our progress at Energize Ohio (https://energizeohio.osu.edu/farm-ene...) . To find details on upcoming field days, please visit: https://agcrops.osu.edu/events.
