"Bio-what?" When farmers, academics, companies, & policymakers use different words for the natural products that stimulate plant growth, it gets confusing. That's why Crop Sciences researchers set out to clear it all up. aces.illinois.edu/news/biologica… DOI: acsess.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ae…

16x42, 113 Day planted April 24th, Champaign county High kernel number and great pollination, probably 80-85k divisor on this. Just one example, lots of season left, lots of different planting date x RM x weather scenarios out there. Going to be a field to field story this fall

New College of ACES study: Woodchip bioreactors aren’t just for nitrogen--they also remove phosphorus runoff. 🌽🌊 ABE Prof. Richard Cooke helped show how rainfall + system age affect phosphorus removal. A double win for IL water quality! 💧 🔗 More in bio

480 roots dug, 3200 to go! Our punishment for letting Sam Leskanich do an entire dissertation on roots. Also a lot of Jared Fender’s research understanding how strip till influences root development and hybrid response. These two have a lot of cool projects! And a lot of roots…

We are excited to launch this page and bring you along as we explore corn agronomy through research, extension, and student-driven innovation.🌽 Follow us for: ✅ Research-based insights across Indiana ✅ Collaboration with growers and industry partners #TheKernelLab #PurdueAg
