IL Soy Envoys and ISA agronomist Stephanie Porter share a timely Illinois crop update, covering planting progress, weather impacts and early-season management decisions.

This tool aims to help farmers get a quick overview of how many active ingredients in their herbicide program are actually effective modes of action against their target weeds.

After three years, soybean yield dipped slightly after a cover crop, and added fertilizer improved yield in only one of three locations.

Following a recent cold snap, Stephanie Porter outlines agronomic considerations to accurately assess soybean cold injury, evaluate stand viability and make informed replant decisions.

Rachel Vann explains when low stands justify replanting, why uneven emergence rarely reduces yield and why nitrogen at planting seldom pays in soybean systems.

Early-planted soybeans can face greater risk from bean leaf beetles, but IL Soy Envoy Matt Montgomery explains how field conditions and economic thresholds determine when feeding warrants treatment.
