Pest Management
Yield reductions occur every year across Iowa due to weed pressure, insect feeding, or stalk lodging. Many pests can be managed by producers and agronomists during the growing season if fields are regularly scouted and treatments employed when necessary. Achieving high corn yields requires proper attention to pest management to realize the potential yield within an environment.
