A practical scouting method for slugs and how to identify slug damage in field crops.

Soil erosion continues to be a concern on our cropland. The four types of soil erosion are discussed, what they mean, and what to do about them.

A grazing dairy in southeastern Pennsylvania meets summer forage needs with annual warm season mixtures planted in a continuous no-till system.

Fertilizers are inherently sensitive to price shocks. Proactive fertility planning that anticipates these disruptions can help farms remain resilient when prices rise suddenly.

Quickly incorporating manure, particularly through low-disturbance injection, can dramatically increase the value of manure nitrogen.

Cover crops transpire moisture when alive while roots improve structural stability, making soils resist compaction better. They improve porosity in compacted soils, so they are important in soil compaction management.

Arm yourself with knowledge to keep this season's crops healthy.

Now that certain dicamba products are available for use in XtendFlex soybeans, special training must be obtained to purchase and spray these products.

Have you noticed a decline in yield without a clear explanation? It could be due to plant parasitic nematodes.

Your soils and soil structure may determine the crops you can produce.

Penn State weed scientists conduct various herbicide trials on new and existing products. This provides an overview of the experiments we conducted in the 2025 season.

Freeze-thaw cycles help to alleviate soil compaction, so does drying-wetting cycles in soils that shrink/swell. Natural factors therefore assist in restoring porosity in compacted soils.

Scouting tips for wheat given late planting and some poor stands being reported.

Use of paraquat dibromide, or paraquat, has been increasing in popularity among agricultural producers. However, this product has safety and handling risks associated with its use.

Planning ahead can help save fall-applied manure nutrients in the soil for next year's crop. Always remember safety when handling manure.

Feeding stored feeds in winter months is a major cost of beef cow-calf and backgrounding operations. Extending the grazing season by grazing corn crop residue may be an economically viable option for beef producers in Pennsylvania.

Getting useful, accurate information about crop disease risk is likely one of your top priorities. Make sure you know the tools to help you fight Fusarium Head Blight throughout the year.

Dicamba products for use in XtendFlex soybean platforms are being re-registered, below are some initial label updates.
