Sudden Death Syndrome (SDS) is a disease in soybeans that has been prominent in the US Mid-West for many years, but is now becoming more prevalent in Ontario.

In this article I hope to provide some insight into grain corn progression towards maturity, and an understanding of the growth stages after tasseling/silking and pollination.

Pollination is one of the most critical stages in the life of a corn plant.  Unfortunately, pollination is also one of the least controllable aspects of grain production since its success or failure is mainly influenced by environmental conditions.

PRIDE Seeds and Case IH partnered to put on a Planter Clinic at the Western Fair Farm Show in London, Ontario. The clinic provided expert advice to producers looking to get their corn off to the best start possible.  Matt Roberts, Territory Sales Manager with CASE IH, offers producers some tips on what to check on their corn planter before

How many times have we heard this adage or something like it? In real terms, it basically says that once we lay the foundation for something we will have to live with it - and the consequences. It's kind of like planting; the first step in a crop's life, and probably the one we have the most control over. When you think about it, most farmers

The following are some tips for improving uniformity of seed placement.

As we reach full tassel stage in corn, we are receiving some last-minute questions regarding fungicide applications. One of the questions that we regularly receive is: "Which PRIDE hybrids are more likely to have a positive response to a foliar fungicide application?" This interest in hybrid specific response is also spurred on by

If one takes a few moments to put Spring Planting into perspective, it really is a complex exercise. There are so many factors - most revolving around field conditions and planter set-up - all of which dovetail into one another.

Many would consider 'early planting' of corn to land on or about April 20 to 27, depending on your area of Ontario. Most of us are aware that planting in this early time frame has both benefits and pitfalls to corn production. So, what management factors do growers need to consider to A) maximize yield potential, and B) minimize production risks
