Is it obvious that genetics are important in managing white mold??
Today, my masters student Vanessa Louks presented her research on seed treatment effects on managing root rots in soybeans at the Carrington Field Day. Lots of great data that will help farmers make more informed decisions on their operations. Makes me a proud advisor!
I’ve seen a few sprayers out the past few days. Intermittent rain the past few days has helped drive white mold risks upward. If risk is high in areas with susceptible soybean varieties, it may be time to consider an application.
Understanding the biology is important for making sure we manage white mold effectively
🤔What do soybean flower structures have to do with white mold development...... a lot according to @BisonBeanDoc #farmingtips #cropprotection #soybeans
With diseases starting to pop up, a quick reminder that some of those popular disease prediction apps (Tarspotter and Sporecaster) are no longer active. These models have been move to the Crop Protection Network. cropprotectionnetwork.org/crop-disease-f… @CropNetwork
Very surprising to see this early, but SDS symptoms have appeared in southeast ND. Soybeans were just getting to R2 in this particular field.
Also for the irrigated acreage across the region, check risk levels based on your soybean row width. Yesterday in Oakes, ND under irrigation we found the first apothecia of the year. Happy scouting!
Soybeans are getting to canopy closure across parts of North Dakota. However white mold risk is low to moderate across the state right now. Rain and cool temps may change that in the coming days.

Timing is critical for white mold management in #soybeans! 🌱@BisonBeanDoc's key considerations for when fungicide applications are most effective. #NDSUFieldUpdate
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…
While hiking in Wisconsin last weekend we got a great show of mushroom diversity
Lots of soybeans starting to flower across North Dakota. With cool temps and more rain in the forecast, risk for white mold is expected to continue climbing. Remember that canopy closure is incredibly important for the white mold apothecia to form.

Root rots are loving the recent rain and cool soil temps across North Dakota. I’m having trouble finding any commercial fields without some levels of disease
Headed out to spray? 💧 Our weed specialist @NDSUWeeds breaks down the most important thing for growers to consider right now. 👇
“Fungicide applications remain an effective tool for reducing white mold levels if applied between the R1 and R3 growth stages. Not all fungicide products are equally effective at controlling white mold, with Endura® remaining the most effective product if applied between the…

We got our NCSRP Sclerotinia sclerotial degradation trial deployed today thanks to @hoperbecton and the rest of the team. Lots of great info to come from these studies
Sclerotina sclerotial degradation study in the ground thanks to @MorganGoodnight and @mizuno_monica. We are ready to collect data as part of a NCSRP project w/@BisonBeanDoc and @badgercropdoc
