Timely action is crucial to managing foliar diseases in soybeans and protecting yield potential.

A disease threat was identified in 36% of the field, a common foliar disease in soybeans known for significantly suppressing yields.
The disease likely developed during warm, cloudy weather with frequent rain, spreading through spores.

The grower will treat the disease by applying a combination of Group 3 triazole (DMI) fungicide and strobilurin.
Fungicide application will occur between the R3 and R5 growth stages, ensuring maximum effectiveness.

Early detection of the disease before the R3 growth stage allows for timely fungicide application, minimizing potential yield loss.
Favorable weather conditions, such as dry and hot weather, will further prevent infection and lesion development.
Rotating the field out of soybean production for two years will help reduce the risk of future pathogen buildup, contributing to long-term crop health and sustainability.

Effectively managing volunteer corn is essential to protect soybean yields and maintain crop health.

When early-season stand counts indicate potential yield loss, quick and accurate decisions are essential to protecting the bottom line.

Burcucumber left unchecked can cause significant issues late in the season, particularly during spraying and harvesting.
