Soybeans with the mid season diseases, identification, and watching for insects

Soybeans can easily be affected by Sudden Death Syndrome, Brown Stem Rot, Dectes Stem Borer, and Charcoal Rot depending on weather, disease fusarium that is present in the soil, and rain fall. Also, spraying for insects at R3 may hold you from Stink Bug (and other pod sucking insects) but an eye needs to be kept open as weather can also affect the ability of these "critters" to make a comeback at times.

This product has many strengths. They include weeds with little resistance, non volatile, and exceptional broad spectrum on weed species. However; this contact herbicide is subject to one of the great mysteries of plant physiology, the production of nitrites in the plant, the metabolic process of glutamate and ammonium to form glutamine from a catalyst. Glutamine is a key enzyme in the nitrogen metabolic pathway in organisms.
