However, we do not anticipate severe yield losses from this disease. Also, there is no economic control for this disease in field corn. Fusarium is also a concern in the corn crop. It is too early to know for sure, but growers should be aware of the potential for fusarium in this year's crop. Soybeans are well into flower and pod development.
Diseases are also of concern in the soybean crop.
Sudden death syndrome, white mould, soybean cyst nematode, and rhizoctonia root rots are all taking their toll. White mould is also developing at high levels in the edible bean crop. In most cases, it is now too late to spray. However, on later planted crops, growers can still consider using Ronilan if the crop is in the early to full flower stage. Hay harvest continues to be a challenge.
