Dried Corn in Drying Soils: What Decision Should Be Made?

Since mid-May 2026, water shortages and heatwaves exceeding 36°C have hindered the flowering of unirrigated corn in the Grand Ouest. To guide farmers facing the drying of their fields, ARVALIS identifies three key thresholds of water stress (simple gray curling, loss of 30% of leaves, or agony with fewer than two green leaves). A crucial diagnosis for each plot to urgently decide between waiting, direct grazing, or early silage.
