Foliar symptoms of Cercospora leaf blight typically appear late in the season on soybean. Affected leaves become leathery & purple with bronze highlights. It can lead to reduced seed quality and yield loss. Warm wet weather favors disease development Crop Protection Network #Soybean #Fungi

NEMATODE MONDAY: Root-knot nematode symptoms (galls/knots) on roots of tomato plants. The amount of galling can vary with population density, Meloidogyne species involved and the host. Large numbers of nematodes penetrating roots in close proximity can result in larger galls

Red leaf blotch of #soybean caused by the soil borne fungus Coniothyrium glycines. Symptoms spotted in Lusaka #Zambia. So far no varieties of soybean are known to be resistance to the fungus. IITA Agricultural Research Service

A bunch of stink bugs on a #soybean pods. They inject toxic sap that affects seed quality. Some pods are empty due to stink bug feeding. #soybeanpests #yieldloss #seedquality

The eureka moments in agriculture research happens in the fields. We visited the KALRO soybean fields at Njoro, Kenya with the 2Blades president Diana. We took time to discuss on various strategies being deployed to manage #soybeanrust in Africa

The best southern rust management advice I can ever give you is to implore you to NOT spray corn at dent with a fungicide. We (unbiased entities) do not see a positive ROI with a fungicide made that late regardless of product Erick Larson #mscrops
