As soybean harvest progresses, a few growers are noticing poor yields in otherwise nice-looking plants and pods. Stink bugs can often cause this type of injury to soybean seed, according to researchers at Ohio State University.
Now that the 2019 corn and soybean harvest is in full swing, it is not too early to start thinking about and planning for the 2020 growing season as well. For soybean farmers in Iowa, a critically important fall activity that can pay large dividends is soil sampling to determine soybean cyst nematode (SCN) population densities in fields in which soybeans will be grown in 2020.
The percentage of growers applying insecticides and fungicides in cash crops, and overall spending on these crop protection products, continues to increase.
Although environmental pressures and concerns over soil health have caused some no-tillers to re-examine their use of insecticides and fungicides, data from the 11th annual No-Till Farmer Operational Benchmark Study shows use of these products isn’t necessarily decreasing.
With two decades of cover cropping experience under his belt, Illinois farmer Adam Dahmer shares his advice and suggestions for those new to the practice.
Combines tend to disperse a lot of weed seed throughout our cropping system. For harvest weed seed control of waterhemp to be effective, the plant must retain the majority of seed prior to harvest, say researchers at Iowa State University.
