Ec03-1892 Identifying Soybean Rust
Ec03-1892 Identifying Soybean Rust
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
This four-color extension circular identifies the different diseases of soybeans: soybean rust, bacterial blight, bacterial pustle, and downy mildew. It also shows diseases that are similar looking: Cercospora blight, Frogeye leaf spot and brown spot. It also discusses what to look for when scouting for soybean rust.

Did You Know...
Weather adjustments to an automatic irrigation system can conserve A LOT of water.
A system applying 1 inch of water to an average size lawn (approximately 5,000 square feet) that has already received sufficient rain wastes over 3,000 gallons of water -- a year's supply of drinking water for 17 people.

Nf03-582 Early Season Extentstion Using Hotcaps, Laurie Hodges
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Hotcaps are covers used to protect individual plants from low temperature stress early in the season. There are three common hotcap designs: opaque plastic milk jugs, waxed paper, and plastic water-filled tubes. They are usually used by home gardeners or market gardeners with limited production. Growers with more acres or more extensive production tend to use row covers or high tunnels that protect more than one plant.
This NebFact discusses the study methodology, findings, and conclusions to using hotcaps in the garden.
Nf03-571 Aspergillus Flavus And Aflatoxins In Corn, Jim Stack, Michael Carlson
Nf03-571 Aspergillus Flavus And Aflatoxins In Corn, Jim Stack, Michael Carlson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The severe weather conditions of the 2002 growing season resulted in an increase in the incidence and severity of aflatoxin contamination of both food grade and feed grade corn in Nebraska.
The mycotoxin called aflatoxin is produced by the grain mold Aspergillus flavus. Not all isolates of A. flavus produced aflatoxin and isolates that are capable of producing aflatoxin do not always synthesize the toxin. Many factors including environmental conditions and host suscepbitility, determine the incidence and severity of grain mold and subsequent mycotoxin contamination.
This NebFact discusses the cause and occurrence of aflatoxin in corn; the effects it has …
Nf03-570 Fumonisins In Corn, Jim Stack, Michael Carlson
Nf03-570 Fumonisins In Corn, Jim Stack, Michael Carlson
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
During the past two years, millers have rejected some Nebraska food grade corn because it was contaminated with the mycotoxin fumonisin. Most of the contaminated samples and the highest levels of contamination were detected in corn from counties in the eastern half of Nebraska.
Fumonisins are mycotoxins produced by the grain molds Fusarium verticillioides and Fusarium proliferatum. These fungi are commonly found in corn throughout the United States.
This NebFact discusses the cause and occurrence of fumonisin in corn; the effects it has on plants, animals and humans; and management options to minimize fumonisin contamination.
G03-1528 Recommended Seeding Rates And Hybrid Selection For Rainfed (Dryland) Corn In Nebraska, Robert N. Klein, Drew J. Lyon
G03-1528 Recommended Seeding Rates And Hybrid Selection For Rainfed (Dryland) Corn In Nebraska, Robert N. Klein, Drew J. Lyon
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Differences in climate between Lincoln and Scottsbluff are as great as from Lincoln to the east coast of the United States. These climatic differences across the state greatly affect recommended seeding rates for rainfed corn in Nebraska. This NebGuide provides information useful in assessing accumulated growing degree days, soil type and field conditions, average precipitation, and the field's microclimate when determining seeding rate for dryland corn.
