A clean soybean field is something that brings pride to many farmers. Doing everything to keep those rows neat by reducing weed and pest pressure helps ensure a strong harvest. However, even in the cleanest fields, there can be threats to yield below the surface that attack the roots of the plant. With tight margins and commodity prices remaining low, it’s important to identify and address these hidden threats to get the most out of each acre.
Farmers today are using better technologies to improve soybean production and quality. Protecting the plant from unseen threats like soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Pythium and Phytophthora requires a management plan that can help turn yield potential into yield results.
