“Integrating several [white mold] management practices including cultural control, varietal resistance, scouting, prediction tools, and chemical and biological control can form an effective management plan for white mold.” From the White Mold of Soybean web book at…

Southern rust, tar spot & gray leaf spot = fungi. Bacterial leaf streak & Goss's wilt = bacteria. Properly ID & assess risk for best disease management outcomes. Ask local Extension for more info. @DTelenko @alisonrISU @baldpathologist @MahDuffeck @maddishires @MandyBish1…

Great week last week to get some drone applications in for my @WISoyCheckoff funded research. Started the week off with R3 white mold fungicide applications. Thank you @badgercropguy for the assistance! Looking forward to seeing these results. @badgerbean @badgercropdoc

Continued the week by applying foliar micronutrients to a historically Mn deficient field to assess the utilization of drones for these applications as part of my @WISoyCheckoff funded research. Big thanks to A Roth and @ColetFabiano for the help! @badgerbean

Explore the latest in forage and cover crop management with discussions and field demonstrations on Tuesday, July 15 from 9:00 am–3:00 pm at Arlington Agricultural Research Station. Learn more at cals.wisc.edu/fielddays.

Soybeans make their own nitrogen, but nodules need time and the right conditions to get going. @badgerbean of @UWMadisonExt notes nitrogen fixation can stay active into late pod fill if rhizobia are present. farmprogress.com/soybean/soybea…

#ScienceForSuccess team member @justin_calhoun provides an update on #IronDeficiencyChlorosis in Mississippi. Check out this #UpdateFromTheField to learn more about variety selection and management options!

Irrigated White Mold Models are running high for Arlington WI on the @CropNetwork forecasting tool. Confirmed apothecia in irrigated fields in same area. Time to keep an eye on these tools as soybeans are flowering now and 10-day forecasts show cooler temps which increases risk!

Excited to share our latest work: “Termination strategies for high biomass cereal rye cover crop in soybean planting green systems” by @JacobFelsman et al. (2025) Combining roller-crimper with glyphosate was an effective strategy for terminating high-biomass cereal rye…

Great Collaboration with @BisonBeanDoc, @datascience_uw, and @CropNetwork to analyze large data to generate a new soybean white Mold ROI tool. It is a tight margin year, this could be handy! Learn more here: badgercropnetwork.com/new-white-mold…

Hello White Mold, My Old Friend... These seasonable temps and wet weather have got me thinking about white mold management. Learn more at badgercropnetwork.com/hello-white-mo… @badgerbean

Let's Talk About "Spores", Baby! Time to scout and make a tar spot management plan! badgercropnetwork.com/lets-talk-abou…

Biologicals are a huge market in agriculture, but how many research environments do we need to put out to statistically show a ROI on these investments? @ColetFabiano is digging into this as well as a deep dive into @hortmeierclarke PhD work on small grain resilience!

Crop Lookout is an interactive map showing emerging field crop issues in the U.S. & Canada. Updated by Extension, this map shows reports of diseases, pests, & other agronomic challenges. Check out Crop Lookout at cropprotectionnetwork.org/crop-lookout @DTelenko @alabamaED @baldpathologist…

Give us a hand if you can!

Huge thanks to everyone who joined us for the 2025 Rock County Farm #WiscWeeds Management Plot Tour (06/19)! We had a fantastic turnout and perfect weather as we showcased our latest field research, including: • Cover crops as a tool for integrated weed management •…
