From Farm to Filtration: A Tour of Conservation in Action
This conservation tour will look at how drainage tile impacts water quality, how cover crops play a role in nutrient runoff management, the role that wetlands can play in limiting nutrient runoff, and the cost associated with treating nutrients in the water.
Topple Weeds with a PRE-POST Combo
Illinois Soybean checkoff funded research shows that a preemergence and a postemergence herbicide combination provided the best weed control outcome for early planted soybean.
Soybean Double-Crop Systems Can Be Improved with Earlier Maturing Wheat Varieties
Dr. Jessica Rutkoski is studying wheat varieties to enhance productivity in double-crop systems, enable earlier soybean planting, and improve wheat maturity classification.
Science for Success: Bringing Soybean Research to Life
Dr. Giovani Preza Fontes highlights Science for Success, a resource focused on soybean best management practices, ongoing research, and nationwide trial collaborations.
Stuck in the Weeds? Check out GROW and Take Action for Help!
Dr. Michael Flessner shares how GROW, a scientist-led network, helps U.S. farmers combat herbicide resistance through diverse weed control strategies.
Soybean Sustainability Metrics: Preliminary Results from Illinois Field Trials
Dr. Andrew Margenot shares preliminary findings on soil health, water quality, and climate impact from two seasons of Illinois field trials.
Herbicide Injury in Early Soybeans & Group 15 Resistance in Waterhemp
This virtual session presents the findings from two ISA Checkoff-funded research projects: one examining the injury potential of various soil-residual herbicides on early-planted soybeans, and the other assessing the extent of resistance to Group 15 herbicides in Illinois waterhemp populations.
Pest Management: When Do Soybeans Need Insecticides?
Dr. Nick Seiter presents year-one findings on how insect pests impact soybean yield and ROI.
Red Crown Rot Disease Update in Illinois
Red crown rot remains a challenge in Illinois soybean fields, with many unknowns still surrounding the disease. Dr. Boris Camiletti and Dr. Steven Clough share their research findings from 2024 and current insights on disease management.
Soybean Cyst Nematode Management Panel
As soybean cyst nematode remains a threat in soybean fields, this panel at the 2025 Field Advisor Forum shares research updates on SCN in Illinois and efforts to control the disease through genetic engineering.
