Fall armyworm. Photo: Jim Kalisch, University of Nebraska-Lincoln In recent weeks, fall armyworm infestations have been decimating some soybean and forage crops in Kentucky. The University of Kentucky Extension Entomologists, recently reported large FAW moth captures. This likely occurred in southern Indiana counties as well, although we have no reports of this to cite.
Nick Seiter, Field Crops Entomology Specialist, University of Illinois I conducted a survey along the northwestern border of Illinois (roughly Quincy to Galena) for the potentially invasive soybean gall midge; we didn’t find it, and have never observed it in Illinois, so that’s good news.
Over four years of research resulted in the development of an in vivo blood spot testing method for mycotoxins and the launch of the RISE® Platform. One year later five key learnings have emerged that have relevance across the globe. The dried blood spot (DBS) analysis process is minimally invasive, easy to use and simple to send for analysis.
