Acessing Hail Damage

Things to Consider:

  • Be patient. Damage usually looks worst right after the event. Give the crop a week to evaluate.
  • Entering rapid growth stage. Plants putting new leaves on every 2-3 days.
  • Hail may have caused stalk bruising which could contribute to standability concerns later in the season.
  • Defoliation will encourage weed pressure once residual herbicides start to break down.
  • Both defoliation and stand loss have occurred. Please refer to the provided Hail Guide below for evaluation tips.

Possible management applications:
  • Fungicide applications to improve plant health and help prevent diseases due to stresses put upon plant.
  • Nitrogen applications that contain strong concentrations of sulfer. (ie. ATS 12-0-0-26, and 28-0-0-5).
