Soybean Fungicide Management Considerations for 2013 Updated

🕔14:26, 1.Jun 2013

Over the past week we’ve received two reports of frogeye leaf spot in reproductive soybeans.

Following the observation and reports of strobilurin-resistant frogeye leaf spot in two fields in MS last year, and from adjacent states, it is most important to determine what particular soybean variety is planted in a field prior to making a decision on a specific fungicide product for yield loss prevention.

Soybean Seedling Issues: Seedling Disease Versus Herbicide Injury Updated

🕔19:57, 14.May 2013

In most cases, herbicide injury has resulted in fields appearing to have an uneven stand as a result of seedling disease. Rarely would a seedling disease be responsible for large acreages of dead seedlings. More than likely, a combination of events have occurred to cause the appearance of seedling disease. Preemergence herbicides, cool temperatures, excessive rainfall following planting immediately prior to emergence, light soil texture, and herbicide injury on stressed soybean seedlings have all compounded the stressful situation.
