We're starting to see a flush of broadleaves in some soybean fields. A lot of guys are asking about what they can tank-mix with glyphosate (besides more glyphosate). Resource herbicide at 4 oz. is a nice tank-mix. For a little over $5/ac, it has good broad spectrum control for lambsquarters, kochia, pigweeds, waterhemp and lots more.

Our biggest corn is shoulder high and we could really use a rain. The soybeans in the area are getting infested with aphids. We have had reports of 20 + per plant in the
Colton
and Garretson area. SDSU thresholds are met at those levels with the plants at R1 (first flower) and spraying 3.8 oz of Silencer is the recommended course of action for control.

Soybean aphids have been spotted around
Davis
and
Centerville
. Scout your fields now and possibly add insecticide with your roundup.

I had a grower tell me they found soybean aphids around Yankton at 20 per plant. Silencer, Asana, Warrior and Lorsban all provide good control on aphids.

Trials at
South Dakota
State
University
in 2007 showed a 5% decrease in yields of soybeans with 550 volunteer corn plants per acre. With a 40 bushel yield, a 5% reduction is 2 bushel loss. With the price of soybeans a grower can not afford to leave those plants in the field.

Remember higher temperatures will affect chemicals in different ways. Some won't work, some get up and move easier, be sure to check your labels so you don't hurt near by crops or throw your money away.

We are finishing spraying soybeans with Roundup and 2 oz. MegaGro. We are spraying sunflowers with Select Max and 5 oz. Bomo, and waiting for wheat harvest.

Buctril at 1 pint tank mixed with 1/2 to 1 pound of Atrazine will do a good job on broadleaf weed control in sorghum. It can be applied to sorghum up to 12 inches tall or the 4 leaf stage.

Some beans are beging to get sprayed with Roundup. It would be a good idea to throw in some insectcide for Green leaf beetles and residule for insects.

We are starting to spray our second round of corn with 22 oz of Power Max and are starting to make a second round through the bean. We are spraying 6oz of Select Max and 6 oz of asana on the beans.

When spraying your 2nd shot of round-up in your beans it would be a good time to add insecticide to your round-up to control first generation of bean leaf beetles. I would recommend Warrior at a rate of 1.92oz/acre.

Aphid numbers are on the rise and were finding more and more fields every day. I had 2 crop consultants confirm the same thing yesterday. Get out in your fields and start looking, and consider putting an insecticide in with your next pass on the beans. It will be dollars well spent

The first pass of sugar beet fungicide will begin in the area in the next week. There are many products in limited supply, so please call ahead and find out which products are available and which ones may be sold out or in short supply. Fortunately there are a couple different options of products to use each pass.

Time to start looking for aphids as there has been reports of them in the Laverne, Hills Beaver Creek area. There are light numbers of them south of
Iona
. There have also been some reports of light infestations in the
Redwood
Falls
area.

With everyone between soybeans sprayings now is a good time to take some tissue and soil samples. By taking tissue samples along with your soil samples you can compare what nutrients you have in your soil versus what the plant is taking up.

I am hearing a few reports of soybean aphids in the area. Silencer, Warrior or Asana would be good choices.

Soybeans and corn are advancing nicely. I was gone for 4 days last week and NW Iowa crops are very impressive relative to other areas. Crop potentials are very good even with corn not tasseling by the Fourth of July (it's not normal guys!).
Leon Bolkema

Most corn is between V8 and V10. There are 18 vegitative stages in corn development with each stage taking about 2-3 days. So tassel is about 18-30 days out for most of the area corn crop.

Soybean fields are growing rapidly. I've had numerous calls about soybean leaves cupping as if they had a very low rate of Dicamba applied to them. With the growing conditions we've had, leaf cupping can be a naturally occurring response to fast growth. So if you're seeing leaf cupping in your field for no reason, this could easily be the problem. Dicamba drift will usually follow a low lying area of the field.
