Robots are one of the most talked-about innovations in agriculture, and rightly so—they can weed with precision, reduce soil compaction and shrink farm carbon footprints.

Scientists at the Sollio Agriculture research farm are always on the lookout for innovations that promote more sustainable agriculture.

Foliar fungicides are becoming more commonly used in corn silage production. When used properly, they can increase yield, feed quality, and profitability for farmers.

In our Maizex agronomy work over the last several years, fungicides have been consistently showing the highest ROI in our intensive management trials.

On the Prairies, we are fortunate that we don’t have many insects to deal with when it comes to our corn production. The most prevalent insect is the European corn borer (ECB), and the pressure we see varies by year and location. The following is a summary of the lifecycle of the ECB, how the environment can impact it, and scouting techniques.
