We found and confirmed some Southern Rust of\u00a0corn this week in Tattnall County.\u00a0 However, the incidence in the field was extremely low, and I have only seen it in one field so far. \u00a0Any growers with later planted corn that has not reached dent\u00a0with good yield potential may want to consider spraying a fungicide to protect their\u00a0crop.\u00a0We recommend to protect corn from rust until late dough\/dent stage, however, some people will use fungicides to protect it until black layer.<\/p>\n

Corn will generally reach dent stage somewhere around 100 days old.\u00a0 We are seeing some corn that has reached dent before that time however, since it has been so warm and accumulated more heat units than normal.\u00a0 Corn still needs water at dent stage, though.\u00a0 Corn can still use up to .3o inches per day at this stage.\u00a0 That’s still over 2 inches per week!\u00a0 We will be watching the corn now for black layer, which is when we can stop irrigating corn.\u00a0 You can see the milk line in kernels below. As the milk line goes further down the kernel, it will be approaching black layer stage.<\/p>\n

\"Here<\/a>
Here you can see where I broke an ear of corn that was beginning to dent. You can see the milk line at the top of the kernels beginning to make its way down as the corn dries out. When the line gets to the bottom of the kernel, it will be approaching black layer stage. This is when we can stop irrigating corn.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
