Early yield estimates are a powerful tool for decision-making. 📈 By applying a straightforward approach in the field, @BetsyBower shows how to estimate yield, spot crop performance trends, and inform management choices ahead of harvest. 🌽🔎 #TheKernelLab #OnFarmResearch
🚨New from the Kernel Lab! Fungicide programs in corn do more than protect against disease. They also extend grain fill, increase kernel weight, and support higher yields across Indiana environments. 🌽✨ 🔗Full article: acsess.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10… #TheKernelLab #Fungicides
Ear sampling day!!🌽 Collecting from short and tall corn hybrids as part of our omission trials. By leaving out specific management practices, we learn which factors most influence yield and make better agronomic decisions.📊
🌽 Corn growers should watch for vomitoxin this harvest. It can affect grain quality and pose risks for livestock and people. Hear more from #PurdueExtension corn specialist Dan Quinn (@PurdueCorn) on the @hoosieragtoday Purdue Crop Chat Podcast: hoosieragtoday.com/2025/09/22/qui…
🚨New from the Kernel Lab! Our recent study, showed that early vegetative N (V5–V6) improved soil N supply, reduced stress, and protected yield, while late or split applications rarely provided benefits. 👉 Read: acsess.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.10… #TheKernelLab #CornAgronomy #CoverCrop

Scouting and rating diseases is critical to protect corn yield. 🌽🕵️♀️This video shows how disease ratings are done and why timely scouting matters. 📘 Field Guide: edustore.purdue.edu/id-179.html 🌱 Tar Spot Charts: cropprotectionnetwork.org/web-books/tar-… ✅ Keep scouting, keep learning. #TheKernelLab
𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝘆𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗲!! 🚜 Dr. Dan Quinn explains what makes our research combine unique and why it’s key to our work at The Kernel Lab. 🌽 #TheKernelLab #PurdueCornAgronomy #AgResearch
🌽As we roll into harvest, the latest issue of IN Corn Research & Updates shares details on the 🌤️fall weather ahead, 💻digital solutions, & the impact of stalk & ear rot at harvest. ag.purdue.edu/news/departmen… Haven't subscribed? Enroll today thekernel.info
Yesterday at NEPAC Field Day, Dr. Dan Quinn and our MS student Evan Cohagan, shared insights on ear rots and mycotoxins in corn 🌽. Early scouting, timely harvest, and proper drying/storage are key to reducing risk and protecting grain quality. 🤝 #TheKernelLab #FieldDay
Behind every dataset is a team learning and growing together. 🌽 Fieldwork means involving students in every step, from chopping samples to understanding WHY the data matters. This builds skills, responsibility, and confidence for the future. 👩🔬 #TheKernelLab #FutureAgLeaders
Ever wondered how research planters are designed to reflect real-world farming? 🌱🚜 In our latest video, Dr. Dan Quinn (@PurdueCorn) explains how we approach the research planter and how we set up planting practices that align with modern farming.🌽 #TheKernelLab #PurdueCorn

What should you look for when scouting corn at R5 (grain fill)?🔍🌽 With many fields now at this stage, it’s a critical time to assess crop health and yield potential. 🌽 Here, our Senior Research Associate, Betsy Bower, shares her insights!! #TheKernelLab #PurdueCornAgronomy
Two weeks ago, students from across Indiana joined the State High School Crop Scouting Competition 🌱. The Kernel Lab 🌽 hosted the Corn Growth & Development station, sharing agronomy in the field with future ag leaders. #FutureAgLeaders #TheKernelLab #PurdueCornAgronomy
We were glad to host Emily Beeman, PhD Candidate at the University of Pennsylvania, as part of the #IoT4Ag project 🌱🔋. Together we began a buried battery study to see how batteries behave in soil over the next year. Excited to see the results! #TheKernelLab #IoT4Ag
This week at the SEPAC Field Day, our students @erickoliva95 and @nzapata053 presented on short stature corn hybrid and the use of biologicals in corn production. Field Days connect students, researchers, and growers. We’re glad The Kernel Lab was part of it! 💡🤝
🚨 Visiting Scholar Opportunity! 🚨 The Kernel Lab is looking for a motivated student to join as a Visiting Scholar. 📅 Apply by Sept 1, 2025 🔗 Scan the QR code on the flyer to fill out the application form #TheKernelLab #PurdueCornAgronomy #ResearchOpportunity
Dr. Dan Quinn (@PurdueCorn) presented “Management Practices of High Yield Corn: An Indiana, USA Perspective” at the Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz, University of São Paulo in Brazil. 🇧🇷 We’re proud to see #TheKernelLab’s research shared internationally! 🌍
Agriculture is moving from uniform nitrogen (N) management toward more site-specific and digitally informed strategies. A USDA-NRCS project in Indiana shows both the promise of sensors & imagery and the challenges to adoption. 👉 Full article: incornandsoy.org/sensors-data-i…

At the PPAC Field Day, Dr. Dan Quinn(@PurdueCorn) discussed potassium’s (K) critical role in Indiana soils. Without enough K, corn shows little to no nitrogen response. With adequate K, nitrogen moves efficiently, boosting yield and nutrient use efficiency. #NutrientManagement
