Black Cutworm Management in 2012 – MO and E. Kansas
A mild winter followed by warm spring conditions have resulted in the early arrival of black cutworm moths (BCW, Agrostis ipsilon), which creates the potential for BCW larvae damage this season. If larvae are present when corn emerges, corn seedlings can be clipped at the soil surface when the BCW larvae feed. To avoid stand loss from clipped seedlings, persistent scouting is needed to help determine if economic thresholds have been met. BCW do not ...

Corn Replanting Decisions in Missouri and Eastern Kansas
Cold temperatures and wet conditions can put stress on corn germination and emerging seedlings. This may cause some concern about reduced corn stands. Before deciding to replant, evaluate the stand for population and uniformity. Next, compare yield potential of the existing stand with the yield potential of the replant, as well as insurance or government program restrictions. Finally, if the decision is made to replant, consider various management practices discussed in this ALERT to help ...
