The Corn, Soybean, Wheat, and Alfalfa Field Guide has been designed as a guide to be used by scouts, educators, consultants, and farmers when they are scouting their fields. The guide contains information on insect, disease, and weed identification. The guide also contains agronomic information that should be valuable when checking fields. The guide is divided into seven sections: Corn Management, Soybean Management, Wheat Management, Alfalfa Management, No-till Crop Management, Weed Management, and General Crop Management. Additional publications that might be useful in scouting fields are available from Ohio State University Extension Offices and on the Web at: http://ohioline.osu.edu/index.html. A listing of OSU Extension educators and phone numbers can be found in General Crop Management. A listing of Extension specialists and phone numbers is given in General Crop Management.
An index of topics included in this Field Guide can be used to quickly locate your topic of interest.
