Talk of Iowa, hosted by Charity Nebbe

Plant diseases are a biproduct of Iowa's wet summer.

Severe weather plus a wet summer equals plant disease. ISU plant disease diagnostician Chelsea Harbach tells us about 2024’s greatest hits when it comes to plant disease. Later in the hour, ISU consumer horticulture specialist Aaron Steil joins the program to answer listeners' horticulture questions.
