In areas where there are over 100,000 healthy plants per acre yields will not be adversely affected. Herbicide applications may be a consideration when deciding whether to replant. There is no need to change varieties of soybeans due to late planting until after mid-June. Insects continue to be a factor this year. Cutworms, wireworm, white grubs and seed corn maggot in soybeans and corn, cereal leaf beetle, and armyworm in wheat, have all showed up in various locations.

Renfrew This is the Field Crop update for the Eastern Ontario counties for June 6, 2000. This report was prepared by Gilles Quesnel, Field Crops, IPM Program Lead. We have finally had a ten day stretch with only a few light showers, dropping less than 20mm of rain across most of the areas. While we have hardly had haying weather, forages continue to mature quickly. Orchardgrass is well in head and should be harvested as soon as time and weather allows it.
