An Illinois Soybean Growers webinar on Wednesday, April 10 from 7am-8am will review research findings on neonicotinoid seed treatments from around the country, but with an emphasis on the Midwest/Illinois. Specifically, this webinar will seek to answer questions about the efficacy of these seed treatments for insect control, their impacts on soybean and corn yields, and their non-target/environmental effects.
