Seed corn in Iowa likely injured by weather and cold
Extension plant pathologist H Porter warns that prolonged cold and rain this fall plus winter lows may have damaged much seed corn in Iowa. Farmers should test at least 200 ears of seed, pick six kernels from each ear, and assess strong germination after dust treatments. Early seed (Oct 1) stored dry shows good viability, while post Nov 1 selection yields lower strong germination and more disease.
