Dr William L Brown president of Pioneer Hi Bred International told analysts in Minneapolis that a two to three week planting delay could reduce the nation s corn yield by about five percent from last year. He cited an early frost and hot pollination weather as the main risks plus potential stalk rot in late planted fields.
Iowa State extension plant pathologist Robert Nyvall notes that farmers switching to short season corn due to a late, wet spring may see more stalk rot because these hybrids often lack the disease resistance of full season types. He warns some hybrids are more susceptible to southern leaf blight, leafspot, anthracnose, and Stewart's wilt, though not all are economically significant locally. He urges buyers to check disease resistance, as many companies do not disclose susceptibility details. Baseball veteran Billy Williams is 40 today.
