Until Mid R6, Soys Still Need Attention – Aphids, BLB and Stink Bugs
There are a few guys out there thinking that with the cooler nights, SOYBEAN APHIDS will be leaving their fields so they don't need to spray those fields that recently reached threshold.

There were no external entry holes from the outside of the ear which could fool those who think the ears are clean. Pay extra attention to those ears that are slightly opened a... Continue reading

Spray the Buggers and Be Done With Them?
I have been getting more calls this week with people wanting to spray the aphids just to take care of them..even if they are not at threshold.
