Soybeans
Volume 59 Number 6 Date 06/05/2014 Soybean aphid - Surveys conducted in Buffalo, Columbia, La Crosse, Monroe, Portage, Trempealeau, Waupaca and Waushara counties were negative. The first soybean aphids of the growing season are likely to appear in fields next week. Bean leaf beetle - Soybean fields in La Crosse, Monroe, and Trempealeau counties are showing 2-5% of plants with minor defoliation caused by this insect. Damage is currently limited to a few holes in the leaves, but injury could become more severe as additional beetles migrate to emerging soybeans this month. -- Krista Hamilton, DATCP Entomologist |
