With a shift in rootworm resistance now documented in Nebraska, this week's Market Journal UNL Extension Entomologist Robert Wright discusses how to counter corn rootworm resistance through rotating crops and Bt hybrids, and implementing a diversity of control methods.
Also on this week's show:
- Early vs. Late Soybeans — Tapan Pathak, UNL Extension educator in climate variability, explains why early-planted soybeans may provide climatological benefits compared to late-planted soybeans. Also see Tapan's recent CropWatch article on the topic.
