Episode 78: Randy Myers - Developing New Tools to Battle Emerging Crop Diseases

Saison 4 · Épisode 16

jeudi 4 août 2022 • Durée 40:43

Diseases attacking agricultural crops cause millions of bushels of yield loss for farmers across the United States each year. Farmers battle these diseases in several ways including the use of resistant varieties and hybrids, crop rotation, and fungicides. To complicate things, new diseases arise from time to time. One example is Tar Spot, which has become a major yield robber in Midwestern corn fields over the past several years. In this episode, Dr. Randy Myers from Bayer Crop Science explains how companies develop new tools that farmers can use to protect their crops.
