Think climate change is bad for corn? Add weeds to the equation
URBANA, Ill. – By the end of the century, scientists expect climate change to reduce corn yield significantly, with some estimating losses up to 28%. But those calculations are missing a key factor that could drag corn yields down even further: weeds. Wetter springs and hotter, drier summers, already becoming the norm in the Corn Belt, put stress on corn during key reproductive stages, including silking and grain fill. But those same weather conditions can benefit the scrappy weeds that thrive in tough environments.

For South Dakota corn, soybean farmers, the late-August rain came too late to impact crop harvest amid the drought.
Dear Mother Nature: It's too late. South Dakota farmers already had yields determined prior to recent rains

How the roots of wheat and corn adapt to soils with different rock contents
Hidden under our feet lies an entire unseen world. The soil teems with life. Microbes, small animals and fungi all call the darkness home. And so do plants. At least the half of them that we know as roots.

GM maize progresses in Nigeria as farmers struggle with drought and insect pests - Alliance for Science
As farmer Ahiaba Sylvanus recalls, it never used to be necessary to spray maize, millet and guinea corn with pesticides in the Nigerian state of Kaduna, where he lives. But the recent long drought, likely resulting from climate change, weakened the cereal crops, which were then attacked by insects. “Maize is a very important crop […]

Pollination bags cover corn tassels at a Florida State University research field for an experiment led by biology Professor Hank Bass. The bags prevent plants from being pollinated, which allows scientists to avoid contamination of the specimens they are researching.
