Soybean planting progress was off to a good pace in April with 24% planted by the time we flipped the calendar to May.

Multiple samples of seedcorn maggot damaged soybean seedlings have been submitted to the Purdue Plant and Pest Diagnostic Lab.
We are starting to see a few diseases in soybean across Indiana.
It is important to continue to scout for diseases in both corn and soybeans.
Armyworm primarily feed on grasses.
Many species of cutworms feed on corn and soybean if it’s available.
Scouringrushs and horsetails are known by many different common names such as snake grass, jointed grass, monkey grass or simply Equisetum to name a few.
We have been getting lots of inquiries lately about fields that didn’t get planted to a corn or soybean crop, and have lots of weeds growing in them.
Recently there has been a number of calls and samples submitted to the Purdue Plant Pest Diagnostic Lab (PPDL) worried that they have frogeye on soybean. I know due to the issues we saw at the end of last season there is a bit of concern about managing frogeye.
Soybean planting progress (or the lack there of) for Indiana and much of the Midwest is one of the slowest on record. Indiana soybeans normally reach 50% planted by May 20th, but we are only at 6% by the same period.
