Hail damage during pollination can be alarming, but the first step is knowing what to evaluate before making management decisions. In this video, Field Agronomist Paul Yoder walks through a corn field 10–15 days after a hailstorm to explain what damage matters, what is merely cosmetic, and how to protect yield potential moving forward. Watch for: -- Why you should wait 7–10 days before evaluating hail damage -- How to determine if stalk damage is cosmetic or a serious concern -- What to look for in the ear leaf and upper canopy -- How to perform push tests and pollination shake tests -- When to apply fungicides—and why to avoid spraying during pollination -- How biological products like NEXTA Stand and NEXTA Shield can help heal crops If your corn has been hit by hail, these scouting tips can help you assess plant health, protect the most valuable leaf tissue, and make more informed treatment decisions. 🌽 Find the Pioneer Agronomy decision guide for hail damage here: https://www.pioneer.com/us/agronomy/C... 🌽 Learn more from Pioneer Agronomy by visiting Pioneer.com and like and subscribe for more videos like this one! #Corn #HailDamage #Agronomy #PioneerSeeds #CropScouting #CornPollination #Fungicide #CropProtection #Agriculture #FarmTips
