Indiana Soybeans: Green Stink Bugs Demand Attention
Soybeans damaged by multiple factors. Photo: Purdue University With this season’s planting delays, soybean growth stages are anywhere from beginning pod development to near maturity. For the last couple of years, especially last season, we have seen noticeable populations of green stink bug in some Indiana soybean fields. Both green stink bug adults and nymphs feed, using their piercing-sucking mouthparts. They cause injury to soybean by puncturing pods and sucking fluid from the developing beans.
Indiana Soybeans: N Deficiency Behind Highlighter Green Fields
Nitrogen deficiency showing up as lighter green patches in soybeans. Photo: Jon Charlesworth, Purdue University We are accustom to a sea of dark green soybeans during the month of August, so it is troubling when we see areas in our fields that turn highlighter green (Figure 1). Soybeans have typically reached their final height, developed their last leaf, and peaked in nitrogen (N) fixation during this month (basically, R5 to R6).
Rose on Cotton: Demand Strong - Mid 90s Look Possible
Rose on Cotton: Demand Strong – Mid 90s Look Possible Posted on July 20, 2018July 20, 2018 By Louis W. Rose IV and Barry Bean - The Rose Report The bears posted a modest win on the week with the Dec contract giving up 76 points to finish at 87.08. The Dec – Mar spread weakened a bit over the course of the week and is now near flat at 12.
Arkansas Corn: Irrigation Termination - How Do I Tell When?
Many Arkansas corn growers are anxious to get to irrigation termination as it has been a long hot and dry summer for many. This year in particular many producers who are watering from surface water or reservoirs are getting increasingly nervous at the low water levels and are some are being forced to decide which crop to water (corn, soybean, or rice) and in some instances there is not enough water to water all crops at the full levels that are needed.
Indiana Soybeans: Moisture Stress and Spider Mites
Is this field yellowing from spider mite feeding, only one way to find out! Photo: Purdue University As some areas of Indiana are dry getting drier, there is more concern about the possibility about spider mites being a culprit for yellowing foliage. Remember that many other factors can cause plants to yellow (nutrient deficiencies, soybean cyst nematode, disease, lack of moisture, compaction, herbicide damage, etc.).
Indiana Soybeans: Banner Year for Japanese and Green June Beetles
Frustrations have been expressed about the numbers of Japanese beetles and their soybean defoliation this season. This compounds the weather woes that soybean has endured, i.e., too wet, too dry, too hot, yellowing from nutrient deficiencies, and the herbicides seemingly torching them. I guess the added Japanese beetle defoliation has been the breaking point for some and have resorted to “spray therapy” before treatment thresholds have been reached (see last week’s Pest&Crop).
