Understanding the difference between soybean cyst nematode-resistant varieties may help soybean growers understand the importance of rotating sources of resistance, which is one of the “active SCN management” strategies advised by The SCN Coalition.

Soy Envoy Chelsea Harbach tells us a cautionary tale about fungicide resistance management in her latest ILSoyAdvisor blog.

Since Red Crown Rot was first confirmed, efforts to monitor the disease in Illinois have resulted in maps of occurrence from 2018 to 2021.

In 2018 I received some images on my cell phone. These images were of red crown rot, a soybean disease I had encountered while I was the field crop pathologist at the University of Delaware.

As the growing season progresses and we near harvest, Illinois soybean growers often see increased disease symptomology in their fields. They may wonder what [...]

This year continues to challenge what soybean producers consider to be “normal.” I met with one grower recently who described the month of June [...]

As regular visitors of ILSoyAdvisor are aware, fungicides are an important component of a high-yielding soybean system. Progressive growers have become increasingly aware of [...]
