What’s up with Corn and Soybean Diseases? (7/7/21)

This episode featured Dr. Dean Malvick, Extension plant pathologist, and Dr. Angie Peltier, Extension Educator-crops in northwestern MN, to discuss corn and soybean pathogens. This is the time of year where growers may be considering fungicide options or if they are needed, especially as soybeans enter flowering stages when white mold infection may occur. With the dry conditions, fields with soybean cyst nematode may also be more noticeable than in previous years. Being in a drought does not mean diseases will entirely go away. This episode discusses which diseases will likely be problematic this year, and what management considerations may be needed.
