As some areas of Indiana are dry getting drier, there is more concern about the possibility about spider mites being a culprit for yellowing foliage.

Japanese beetle are emerging and can be seen throughout the state on corn and soybean plants.
Locally, we found Japanese beetle adults on Monday, June 11, in field crops and flying around campus. This is certainly earlier than normal, as we typically think of them emerging more toward the end of June.
This season, thousands of Indiana’s acres of soybean were planted in early April because the soil and temperatures were ideal.
As the growing season progresses, I am getting more questions about insects feeding on hemp.
Though more of a curiosity, and infrequent, it is refreshing for us to receive calls/emails of mysterious insects “threatening” the crop.
This season’s extended fall has allowed many plants and insects remain growing and active.
As many have asked, or made note, insect pest numbers seem lower this season. No surprise that the moisture and temperature extremes have had an impact, especially those insects depending on the soil to complete at least a portion of their life cycle.
It is not uncommon to receive samples and pictures of “bugs” from family, friends and neighbors.
