New app makes it easier for farmers to identify, manage corn ear rots, mycotoxins

I am glad to see apps that can help producers in management decision. I hope that this app will be expanded as time goes on. I am a little concerned that producers may not consider mycotoxin contamination in the absence of obvious signs. Mycotoxin problems can accompany growth of the corn and not only come from mold growing on the exterior of the plant either in the field or storage. Fusarium molds can grow within the plant and there may not be outward signs of mold growth. Along these lines, Zearalenone should also have been included in a mycotoxin found in corn.
