Bacterial blight is favored by cool (70 to 80 ºF), wet weather and is inhibited by hot, dry weather. Rotating away from soybean or planting soybean products that are tolerant or resistant to bacterial blight is recommended for problem fields. Foliar fungicide applications are ineffective in controlling bacterial blight. |

DroughtGard® Hybrids products are part of a systems approach combining best agronomic practices, drought-tolerant germplasm, and crop protection traits for improved drought tolerance and insect and weed control. DroughtGard Hybrids products have demonstrated an advantage over competitor products in drought conditions, yet have the potential to maintain top-end yield in well-watered conditions. DroughtGard Hybrids products can do more with less water during severe drought stress and can have fewer barren plants and more kernels per ear. |

Western bean cutworm (WBC) can be a severe pest of corn and dry beans, but not soybean.Consider an insecticide application if 5 to 8% of corn plants have WBC egg masses or small larvae that have not moved into the silks or ear tip.Insecticide application timing is critical for WBC control as once larvae enter the ear, insecticides are ineffective. |

Soybeans respond differently to frost compared to corn because the growing point is exposed to weather as soon as the cotyledons emerge.Understanding the effects of weather conditions on soybean at different growth stages can help determine the best management options. |

High soil pH can cause nutrient deficiencies in plants, which can result in lost yield potential. Saline and sodic soils can cause osmotic stress and ion toxicity in plants, and sodic soils can negatively impact soil structure. Management of these soil issues requires different approaches, which will vary by region and soil type. |

Pod and stem blight and Phomopsis seed decay are two diseases that make up the Diaporthe-Phomopsis disease complex in soybean. Pod and stem blight can damage maturing plants and result in premature death. Phomopsis seed decay can greatly affect seed quality. Both diseases can occur under wet growing conditions. |

Optimization of stand establishment techniques is critical to ensure the long-term success of alfalfa production. Alfalfa stand evaluation in the spring can help determine management practices required to help maintain yield potential and stand establishment. Assessment involves counting number of plants per square foot in randomly selected sites throughout the field, counting the total number of stems, and assessing the viability of the crowns and roots. |
