Thanks Eric for the note! Getting a lot of calls from farmers and consultants finding them in their fields. Best time to spray if you’re at threshold is early morning or dusk

Found them in wheat fields just outside of Palmyra this morning.

Speaking of soybean stands, do you know how to estimate yours? Thanks to @CarrieOrtel and new Graduate Research Assistant Reagan we have a tutorial! #SoyCheckoff #Plant26

Soybean stand less than you hoped for? Not all situations call for a full replant. Learn more about situations where you should replant, repair-plant, or let things be in our blog at: soybeanscienceforsuccess.org… #SoyCheckoff #Plant26

@WISoyCheckoff farmer and NCSRP board member Matt Wagenson raises soybeans, corn and hay and feeds cattle near Bear Creek. He relies on technology to help manage white mold in soybeans. What similar disease management tools have you used? #SoyCheckoff bit.ly/3bsF6oc

“Fungicide applications remain an effective tool for reducing white mold levels if applied between the R1 and R3 growth stages.
Not all fungicide products are equally effective at controlling white mold, with Endura® remaining the most effective product if applied between the correct growth stages.”

There’s no doubt that water is essential for soybean growth, but it’s important to understand how it is used. This factsheet explains water usage during key growth stages and how to determine irrigation needs: ow.ly/iuMv50Z5eYz #SoyCheckoff

This doesn't look like soybeans... yet! Wheat in the #ScienceForSuccess double crop trial has hit the milk stage in Northern IL in this #UpdateFromTheField from @PrezaFontes. Stay tuned for more #SoybeanResearch updates throughout the summer! #SoyCheckoff

Check your winter wheat variety for flowering. It may be go time to make those applications of fungicide for management of Fusarium Head Blight! @badgercropdoc

Cereal rye cover crops provide Wisconsin farmers with many benefits from improved soil health to management of troublesome weeds. In a super El Niño year, however water reserves during seed fill may be a concern. Our research funded by @WISoyCheckoff will help sort this out.

Replant decisions in soybean are being made this week. In Wisconsin our threshold to replant is 50,000 plants per acre. Below that just spot in the thin areas. Above that have a solid weed management plan but no need to fill in. @SoybeanScience1 . bugwoodcloud.org/resource/fi…

Our early planted soybeans are in the VC to just entering V1 growth stages. In a week we should get active biological N fixation

This is one of my favorite articles I have coauthored! The Soybean Growth Cycle: Important Risks,
Management and Misconceptions
Sensitivity to stress changes throughout soybean growth, bringing different risks at each stage. Many can be reduced with good management practices. Get the facts on key risks, best practices, and common misconceptions about the soybean growth cycle: ow.ly/CKIQ50Z4K3C #SoyCheckoff
