Infected plants are very stunted in irregular areas in the field, the leaves will be abnormal, and often superficial reddish-brown lesions can be seen on the stems. Planting resistant varieties or rotating away from soybeans are the only controls. We are evaluating more varieties for resistance to this virus again this season, with a grant from the Delaware Soybean Board. One pesticide re-certification credit will be given. Participants can earn 3 continuing credits for the certified crop advisor program.
Registration is limited.
As a group you will determine the cause of the problem and possible corrective and preventative solutions. The field scenarios have been set up by Joanne Whalen, Mark VanGessel, Richard Taylor, Bob Uniatowski, and Bob Mulrooney. This exercise will be challenging and fun. The meeting will conclude with dinner. Two pesticide re-certification credits can be earned for participation in the meeting.
