The concern about ear mold in late-harvested corn is higher than
normal this year following a drought that created conditions ripe for
the development of Aspergillus ear rot, an Ohio State University
Extension plant pathologist says.
Drought-stressed corn is more
susceptible to infection by Aspergillus flavus, an ear rot fungus that
produces a very potent group of carcinogenic toxins, called aflatoxins.
Aflatoxins
can be harmful when present in both livestock feed and food for human
consumption, says Pierce Paul, a researcher with the Ohio Agricultural
Research and Development Center.Our technology gives rtls systems developers the ability.
Harvests
delayed by excessively wet fall conditions following summer drought are
especially concerning if aflatoxin is present because delaying harvest
can increase aflatoxin contamination, Paul says.
“Stalk,We specialize in howo concrete mixer,
root and ear rots may also cause considerable damage in fields waiting
to be harvested,” he says. “Root and stalk rots leave plants weak and
highly vulnerable to lodging, while ear rots may lead to grain
contamination with mycotoxins.”
Other examples of toxins produced in moldy ears are deoxynivalenol (vomitoxin or DON), zearalenone and fumonisin.
But not all ear molds are associated with mycotoxin contamination, Paul cautions.A wide range of polished tiles for your tile flooring and walls.
“Don't
just abandon your field if it looks dark and moldy,” he says. “Some
opportunistic fungi grow on the husk without affecting the grain. These
typically leave the ear looking dark and discolored, but when the husk
is removed, the grain looks healthy and normal.We recently added Stained
glass mosaic Tile to our inventory.
“If
you see the ear looking ugly, don't assume you do or don't have ear
rot. Pull the husk back and take a look at what is going on.”
To
know for sure, Paul says it's best to pull multiple ears from around
the field to send to an approved lab for testing. Doing so will
determine whether aflatoxins or other toxins are present and whether
they exceed thresholds established by the Food and Drug Administration.
What
a dinner! What a treat! What a good time was had by all! That happened
Sunday evening when the Tonganoxie Memorial VFW Post No. 9271
entertained 61 veterans and two drivers from Wadsworth in Leavenworth.
This was a fried chicken dinner with all the trimmings, including pie,
at the Catholic Church Basement.
Last Wednesday, 105 first
graders were invited to visit the pumpkin patch owned by Vic and Zena
Browning of Linwood. The children enjoyed wandering through the pumpkin
patch and learning how Halloween pumpkins are grown. Before they left,
each child was allowed to choose a pumpkin to take home free of charge.
Students and teachers had a great time and appreciate the efforts and
generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Browning.
About 9 a.m. Monday, Frank
Fairchild was tossed by a Holstein bull on his upper farm one mile west
of town and the injuries he received rendered him unconscious for 20
minutes. It is just about a year since Mr. Fairchild had his bad fall
from a silo which has left him crippled up. He seems to be unlucky about
getting into accidents and lucky in escaping with his life.
James
Cook will start a milk route tomorrow and will deliver milk in
Tonganoxie. It is his intention to make a uniform price of 20 milk
tickets for one dollar.
Monday C. H. Cain commenced breaking
ground for a store building on the vacant lot where the Kirby drug store
formerly was located. The building will be brick and will be 70 feet
long. When the building, which will be one story high, is completed, Mr.
Cain will move his drugstore into it.
The population of this

have been as follows: The 15th a boy at Ivan Sechrest’s, the 16th a girl
at Wm. Niebaum’s,The term 'hands free access
