Rain Delays and Storage Space, Communication and Patience
Harvest delays caused by rain may seem like an inconvenience to many, however it has been a welcome opportunity for many commercial grain facilities to relieve some storage pressure and ship grain out during what began as a busy and bountiful fall harvest.
Studying the compounded effect of pathogens.
“In my program now I want to quantify and understand what it is that multiple pathogens are doing and how they are limiting our soybean production.” – Dr. Horacio Lopez-Nicora, Plant Pathologist, The Ohio State University
More Green Stem Syndrome in Soybeans
Another possible cause of stay green syndrome might be stink bug feeding.
Farm Science Review Opportunities
Farm Science Review will be held September 21st – 23rd with lots of excitement in store for farmers young and old.
How to Distinguish Flooding Injury from Phytophthora or Pythium Root Rot in Soybeans
Saturated soils promote infection from many of the watermolds.
Managing Nutrients for Maximum Soybean Yields
“Soybeans will respond to fertilizer application of P and K if the soil test is on the lower side, but not yield as high as soybeans in fields with good soil test levels of P and K and not additional fertilizer application.” – Horst Bohner, Soybean Specialist with the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture Food and Ministry of Rural Affairs
Meeting Soybean Fertility Needs
“In our study we are not seeing a benefit to prophylactic nutrient application.” – Emma Matcham
