Herbicide-resistant weeds are constantly evolving, but a nationwide team of researchers is helping farmers stay one step ahead with proven management strategies, emerging resistance monitoring, and integrated weed-control practices.

As Illinois soybeans approach maturity, Rachel Vann explains what causes green stem, why it can complicate harvests, and what recent research reveals about the limited options available to manage this unpredictable production challenge.

Abigail Peterson, CCA, ISA Director of Agronomy, describes how a partnership between the Illinois Soybean Association and Pheasants Forever and Quail Forever is helping farmers enhance profitability, pollinator habitat, and wildlife conservation across working farms.

Timing is everything when it comes to soybean desiccation. Applied at the right growth stage, harvest aids can speed up harvest, reduce green stems, and help growers stay ahead of unpredictable weather. Explore the latest findings on soybean dry-down and what researchers hope to learn as studies begin in Illinois.
