Coming off the wet weather and late harvest in 2008, corn and soybean growers face difficult conditions. If crops were planted early, the wet weather may create more disease pressure. Yet late planting may stress the crop from hotter temperatures during pollination, elevated disease inoculums and push harvest later in the season. Also, late-planted crops are prime candidates for disease pressure and ultimately reduced yield.
