Soybean growers should be out scouting for early season insect pests such as wire worms and seedcorn maggots.
That from Cassandra Tkachuk, production specialist with Manitoba Pulse and Soybean Growers (MPSG).
She notes producers should also be on the lookout for early season seedling diseases and root rot.
Tkachuk adds that now is the time that soybean rolling should be happening.
“Soybeans should be rolled immediately after seeding or within a couple of days after seeding and post-emergent rolling is acceptable when conditions are not right for rolling right after seeding,” she said. “If you must land roll when the soybeans are out of the ground, it is advised to wait until the V1 or the first trifoliate stage.”
