Volunteer #wheat. Curl mites. Wheat-free windows. Resistant varieties. K-State's free webinar on July 29 covers it all. Get ahead of this disease before planting. Register for one of two time options! bit.ly/4mgFCIB
Adult #corn rootworm beetles are emerging across #Nebraska — and while larval feeding may be done, now is the time to scout, trap & take action to protect your #crop in 2026. buff.ly/ZVhsFT0 #NebExt #ag #cropproduction #croppest @UNLPlantClinic

Frequent rain caused plenty of #corn nitrogen issues this year. Perhaps the most important lesson is that N timing is critical. Late N timing stunted corn growth, resulting in short plants with small ears - not a favorable outcome. 🌽#mscorn #MSUext #mscrops #soilfertility
Today's eUpdate is here - full of info on #wheat streak mosaic, pre-emergence herbicides for wheat, southern #corn rust update, and many upcoming fall field days and seminars! Check it out! bit.ly/4madC9p
Downy mildew of soybean causes irregular yellow spots on the top side of leaves & gray tufts of fungal growth on the underside. Mainly in upper canopy after flowering w/t high relative humidity. The disease is superficial & rarely causes yield loss @CropNetwork #Soybean
Goss's wilt bacteria can infect corn at any stage. Lesions are long, gray-green to black, water-soaked, and have wavy edges. Streaks resembling freckles in lesions are a distinctive symptom. Resistant hybrids are available. Crop rotation and tillage reduce bacterial survival.…


A nice break down of how white mold breaks down your plants!
🤔What do soybean flower structures have to do with white mold development...... a lot according to @BisonBeanDoc #farmingtips #cropprotection #soybeans

Corn earworm #bollworm prefers to lay eggs in the top 1/3 of a soybean plant on the bottom of leaves. Easy to tell if you may have a future problem, but don’t be fooled into thinking it’s for sure. Biocontrol often does a number on small larvae @NCStatesoybeans @ncsoybeans
