The UW BeanTeam out spreading N in our multistate N credit trial and pulling soil samples in our SCN trials. Similar to the lagoon pit in the background my team is the $41t!

There’s no doubt that water is essential for soybean growth, but it’s important to understand how it is used. This factsheet explains water usage during key growth stages and how to determine irrigation needs: https://t.co/JIhvQ0vx5U #SoyCheckoff

This doesn't look like soybeans... yet! Wheat in the #ScienceForSuccess double crop trial has hit the milk stage in Northern IL in this #UpdateFromTheField from @PrezaFontes. Stay tuned for more #SoybeanResearch updates throughout the summer! #SoyCheckoff

Check your winter wheat variety for flowering. It may be go time to make those applications of fungicide for management of Fusarium Head Blight! @badgercropdoc

Cereal rye cover crops provide Wisconsin farmers with many benefits from improved soil health to management of troublesome weeds. In a super El Niño year, however water reserves during seed fill may be a concern. Our research funded by @WISoyCheckoff will help sort this out.

Replant decisions in soybean are being made this week. In Wisconsin our threshold to replant is 50,000 plants per acre. Below that just spot in the thin areas. Above that have a solid weed management plan but no need to fill in. @SoybeanScience1 . https://t.co/UyNvPHoHYb

@seedzeke @SoybeanScience1 Unfortunately, we no longer have an app programmer so we had to sunset many of our apps

Our early planted soybeans are in the VC to just entering V1 growth stages. In a week we should get active biological N fixation

Make the decision to spray at 50% flowering and make sure those fungicide apps are done by 5 days after that date!

Cut alleys in Waterloo today. Just a few flowers showing, but majority is not there yet. Make sure you’re scouting and applying fungicides as labeled and needed! @badgercropdoc wrote this article to ponder over. https://t.co/P89FtBrIpf
