Fungicide Efficacy Tables for Control of Corn and Soybean Diseases
The Crop Protection Network (cropprotectionnetwork.com) is a national working group comprised of Extension agents and specialists from across North America that provide data through publications regarding pest management in agronomic crops. The website and publications can be a great resource for your operation. The following are the most recent fungicide efficacy tables for foliar diseases of corn and soybean.

2021 Maryland Corn Hybrid Performance Tests
The University of Maryland offers a fee-based, corn hybrid performance testing program to local and national seed companies. The results from these replicated trials provide agronomic performance information about corn hybrids tested at five locations in Maryland considered representative of the state’s geography and weather conditions.

Leachable Nutrients: Sulfur, Boron, and Nitrogen Fertility in Corn
For a project sponsored by the Maryland Grain Producers, we looked at increasing applications of sulfur (S) and boron (B) on corn yields and nutrient uptake. As anions, S and B leach easily from the soil surface (particularly sandy loams), potentially leading to crop deficiencies. In the soil N is also commonly in an anion form (NO3), which may also leach easily, or compete for uptake with the anions S and B. Therefore, our question was whether the addition of S and/or B would also affect the uptake of N into corn.

Interested in $10 corn and $30 soybeans for certified organic, but not sure how to transition?
Organic grain production is promoted for greater potential profits with premium grain prices, improved soil health with organic inputs and fewer environmental hazards in the absence of synthetic chemical use. However, the three-year period required for organic certification is a challenging phase when transitioning farmers are learning to do without synthetic chemical manage soil fertility, weeds, diseases and pests, while not yet receiving those attractive premium prices (Delate and Cambardella, 2004). Organic grain production, if done regeneratively, may reduce environmental impacts and increase ecosystem services from agriculture. Among the latter, minimization of nutrient loss to water is especially important in Maryland, since a good deal of the nitrogen and phosphorus pollution to the Chesapeake Bay comes from agriculture (2025 Watershed Implementation Plans (WIPs)). However, the change in environmental impacts due to the transition from “conventional” to organic farming could be either positive or negative (Bavec and Bavec, 2015), depending on the system of practices (inputs, soil disturbance, soil cover, etc.) utilized in the conventional and organic systems (Röös et al., 2018).

2021 Forage Performance of Cereal Cover Crops in Maryland
Dairy farmers are constantly looking for sources of forage to meet their feed needs. One source that many of our region’s dairy farmers utilize is the fall planting of cereal grains that are green-chop harvested the following spring. Among the cereal species used for this purpose are rye, triticale, barley, and wheat. Per the Maryland Cover Crop Program guidelines, cereal grains planted as a cover crop prior to November 5 and suppressed via green-chop in the spring are eligible for the grant payment for participation in the Cover Crop Program. In addition, per the Nutrient Management Regulations, a fall application of dairy manure is allowed to a field planted to a cereal cover crop.
