The latest re-registration is underway for metaldehyde and Lonza has decided to let corn and soybeans drop from the label.

Matt Hudson and Brian Diers, crop sciences researchers at the University of Illinois and Andrew Bent at the University of Wisconsin, think they may have found a way to strengthen plant resistance to soybean cyst nematodes.

Purdue weed scientist's with the assistance of Purdue extension educators and various agricultural industry reps have identified corn and soybean fields in northwestern Indiana that have Palmer amaranth infestations.

From October 16th, 2012 - November 15th, 2012, we asked No-Till Farmer readers: "Will you make herbicide applications this fall to any of your planned crop acreage for 2013?"

Fall is a perfect time to sample soybean fieldso for soybean cyst nematodes

In addition to the weed plants, some crop plants have been tested with Ohio populations and found to make good hosts for SCN.

A study published this week by Washington State University research professor Charles Benbrook finds that the use of herbicides in the production of three genetically modified herbicide-tolerant crops - cotton, soybeans and corn - has actually increased. This counterintuitive finding is based on an exhaustive analysis of publicly available data from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Agriculture Statistics Service. Benbrooks analysis is the first peer-reviewed, published estimate of the impacts of genetically engineered (GE) herbicide-resistant (HT) crops on pesticide use.

More corn acres brought on by high corn prices in recent years could tempt winter wheat growers to plant the crop into corn stubble, but a Purdue Extension pathologist says the practice puts wheat at risk for head scab development.

With this year's drought conditions, the stress on soybeans was intensified by soybean cyst nematode (SCN) in many fields, causing visible yellow patches of stunted plants that we usually only see associated with high SCN populations.
