Greene Gazette newsletter

Greetings from the Greene Team,


This week's Greene Gazette covers several timely topics as we move through a critical stage of the growing season.



Disease pressure is beginning to build across the area. Tar spot has now been confirmed in multiple Indiana counties, and we're also seeing Gray Leaf Spot, Northern Corn Leaf Blight, and Physoderma Brown Spot becoming more common in the fields we're scouting. Inside this week's newsletter, you'll find identification tips, fungicide timing recommendations, an update on tassel wrapping, this week's weather outlook, and a look at how cucumber yield is measured and why size matters.


Download the full newsletter below to stay informed and keep your crop protected!
