Best Time For Farmers To Test Soils In Maryland
Maryland farmers are urged to test soil now to plan next year’s fertilizer and lime needs. University of Maryland Extension experts say lab workloads are lighter, tests returned in time for early-order discounts, and samples sent via county agents or direct mail. Benefits include higher corn yields and alfalfa tonnage, improving profits later.

Where Do Pests Hide Out In The Winter
Entomologist Ted Bissell explains how pests survive cold months with diverse strategies. The corn earworm hibernates in soil burrows, bean beetle larvae seek leaf mats, while European corn borers overwinter above ground in stalks and big plants, with only about five percent surviving. Destroying stalks before spring helps control the borers. many insects do not truly hibernate.

Trees Recharging In Winter Depend On Moisture Levels
Deciduous trees recharge by storing moisture in heartwood and sapwood during winter and drawing on it in spring. Prolonged drought may prevent full recharge, risking branch or tree death. Evergreen needles suffer from dry winter winds and need soil moisture. boosting watering and balanced feeding can improve tree health now and through winter.
