Damping off is the rotting and death of seeds and seedlings and the symptoms can show in soybean plants prior to or just after emergence. Pathogens that can cause damping off, such as Pythium, Fusarium, Phytophthora, and Rhizoctonia are generally favored by wet soils following planting and for most of the country we certainly have had just that this year.
Recent weather has caused an array of pests to emerge on early season soybean plants. Several of them may look familiar as corn pests too.
The 2023 growing season was challenging, especially when it comes to corn and soybean weed control. You know too well that weeds are a top threat to corn and soybean yield potential — and the future of crop production. Take another moment to assess the tools that are available for developing an effective weed control program, starting with the strategic use of pre-emergent herbicides.
Late planting changes the growth cycle of corn, making it more susceptible to pests and diseases during critical growth stages. See the steps you can take to prevent pests in your fields.
