A special issue of the ISU Integrated Crop Management Newsletter was published in February 2007 to support the increasing trend in Iowa of growing corn following corn rather than in an alternating rotation with soybean. The special issue of the newsletter recently was selected to receive an Educational Materials Award from the American Society of Agronomy at their annual meeting in November 2007.
The special issue contained an introduction by Jack Payne, ISU Vice President for Extension and Outreach, and Wendy Wintersteen, Dean, ISU College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and more than 20 articles. ISU Department of Plant Pathology faculty members Alison Robertson and Gary Munkvold wrote articles on possible disease problems and disease management in fields cropped to several years of corn. And there was an article about the possible resurgence of nematodes as a yield-limiting factor in corn production in Iowa by Greg Tylka. In addition to the authors’ contributions listed above, this special issue was the brainchild of Rich Pope who laid the foundation by outlining a series of articles.
Congratulations to all contributors for this great achievement!
