https://agcrops.osu.edu/newsletter/corn-newsletter/2014-35/does-black-layer-form-when-corn-frosted
Black layer is the stage in corn development at which kernel growth ceases and maximum kernel dry weight is achieved (also referred to as “physiological maturity”). A killing fall frost prior to physiological maturity can cause premature leaf death or wh ...

Frosted Forage Precautions
https://agcrops.osu.edu/newsletter/corn-newsletter/2014-35/frosted-forage-precautions
Jack Frost will be visiting us soon. Several forage species can be extremely toxic soon after a frost because they contain compounds called cyanogenic glucosides that are converted quickly to prussic acid (i.e. hydrogen cyanide) in freeze-damaged plant t ...

Soybean Pod Shattering
https://agcrops.osu.edu/newsletter/corn-newsletter/2014-35/soybean-pod-shattering
Soybean pod shattering is not completely understood. Through breeding efforts (beginning approximately 5,000 years ago when soybean was first thought to be domesticated), soybean plants have gained pod shattering resistance (Dong et al., 2014). However, ...
