NCSU's Daisy Ahumada - In the Field

In this video, Dr. Daisy Ahumada (NC State University) discusses common corn diseases growers may experience on the east coast (i.e., Grey leaf spot, Southern rust). As corn progresses into its later reproductive stages (i.e., R5-R6), she discusses taking an integrated pest management approach to manage kernel damage from insects and subsequent develop of ear rots, which can be limiting in terms of yield and quality. The video concludes by telling folks where they can go to learn more about the work NCSU is doing, as well as how to learn more about BASF fungicide products.
