Signs of stress could be seen in corn and soybean fields, especially in the drier areas of the state with the warmer temperatures last week. Most of the corn either has pollinated or is pollinating and soybeans are in the R2 to R3 growth stages. Corn rootworm beetles, Japanese beetles, drought stress, weed escapes, growth regulator injury in soybeans, and questions on fungicides applications were questions or issues received/observed by ISU Extension field agronomists this past week. Read on for more specifics on what’s happening in different areas of the state.
