KATHRYN SEEBRUCK UPDATES
In soybeans, some feeding by Japanese beetles was found closer to field edges, in addition to both minor and advanced spider mite damage (each in different fields). With the recent rainfall and more moderate temperatures, continued damage isn’t expected but will be monitored. In corn, some western corn rootworm beetles were found but in low numbers and with minimal damage. Slightly higher numbers were observed in continuous corn. Little to no disease pressure was observed in visited fields. Corn is at R1-R2 and soybeans are at R4-R5.
