IL Soy Envoy Scott Krone shares research backed data on how planting date, genetics and maturity group selection can have a greater impact on soybean yield than stand density alone.
A 12-year Minnesota study shows how quickly SCN can build, adapt and reduce yield potential in continuous soybean fields, even when resistant varieties are used.
Matt Reardon explains Illinois’ volatile spring, what to expect in May and how El Niño could shape summer conditions.
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.
