Plan a Strong Foundation with the Right Trait PackageAs the weed landscape continues to evolve, it’s clear that weed control is no longer what it used to be. Managing weeds and, in particular, problematic weeds like Palmer amaranth, waterhemp, marestail, kochia and ragweed with known resistance to certain technologies, is one of the most diffi cult challenges growers are facing today. As of 2017, there were 119.6 million glyphosate-resistant acres reported; that’s an increase of 15.6 million acres from 2016.1

Resistance started as a regional problem and has quickly snowballed into a national issue.

Due to the magnitude of this challenge, growers need to implement a well-planned herbicide program starting with the right herbicide trait for this upcoming season. When evaluating your herbicide-trait selection, take into consideration these three tips:

1As reported by Stratus Ag Research, Glyphosate Resistance Tracking: USA 2017.2Evans, J., Tranel, P., Hager, A., Schutte, B., Wu, C., Chatham, L., and Davis, A., 2016, “Managing the Evolution of Herbicide Resistance.” Pest Management Science, Vol. 72: pp. 74–80.

KNOW YOUR FIELD – Evaluate your fi eld and make note of what worked and what didn’t in the previous crop year.

KNOW YOUR WEEDS – Identify and evaluate any weeds in your fi elds or your neighborhood to determine if these problematic weeds were missed or resistant to the chemical program used last season.

KNOW YOUR CHEMISTRIES – Review your chemical program to ensure you are using multiple effective chemistries in a single tankmixed preemergence or postemergence application.

THE “NEW” NEWS IN RESISTANCE MANAGEMENT

For years, best management practices have recommended using multiple effective herbicide sites of action (SOA). However, growers were left to decide whether to rotate or tankmix their SOA. Research shows that fi elds in which more than two SOA were tankmixed resulted in these particular fi elds being 83 times less likely to develop herbicide resistance.83 times less likely to develop herbicide resistance.83 times less likely 2 to develop herbicide resistance.2 to develop herbicide resistance. By tankmixing, weeds are exposed to multiple chemistries simultaneously for increased effi cacy. It’s important to consider that the sites of action used still provide effective control, meaning no resistance has been reported.

As Senior Product Manager, David Tanner advises growers, “It’s really important to understand the weeds in your fi eld and understand which herbicide sites of action will be most effective in tackling them. With this, you can implement an effective season-long program for clean fi elds.” As a reference, the chart below identifi es which sites of action (SOA) are still effective in preemergence and postemergence applications for the top fi ve most troublesome weeds: Palmer amaranth, tall waterhemp, marestail, kochia and ragweed.

Plan for Top Challenges in Your Area Your fi eld’s location can be the biggest indicator of the agronomic challenges you’ll face during the season. While northern regions tend to suffer from cool, dry conditions, southern regions typically suffer from hot, wet conditions. As such, each region comes with its own unique pest and disease pressures. Below is an overview of some of the key issues you may fi nd in your area, along with corresponding Credenz variety suggestions to help you tackle them.

SOYBEAN CYST NEMATODE

SCN is the #1 yield robber in soybeans. Responsible for yield losses of more than 30 percent in some fi elds, SCN racks up about $1.5 billion in crop damage each year in the U.S., even outpacing the damage done by soybean aphids. Because SCN lives in the soil, plant damage often goes undetected until it’s severe. Almost all soybean growers face nematode pressure, but not all realize the damage the pest is doing to their fi elds, since there may be few or no above-ground symptoms. By the time nematode infestations become severe, soybean plants appear generally stunted with yellowing leaves; however, because these symptoms can fi t a lot of pest and nutrient problems, growers should sample their soil for proper diagnosis. Once in a fi eld, SCN cannot be eliminated, making it essential to actively manage this pest with multiple strategies.

SDS SUDDEN DEATH SYNDROME

SDS is a top yield-robbing disease affecting most soybean-growing states, resulting in yield losses of 20 to 70 percent annually. The disease, caused by the fungus Fusarium virguliforme, isn’t easy to detect prior to plant infection as it spreads through soil movement. SDS thrives in cool, wet weather conditions and once in a fi eld, it stays there and can easily fl are up. Although SDS infection begins early in the growing season, symptoms are typically not apparent until midsummer. Initial infections of SDS occur on the roots and crowns of seedlings, which result in root rot and impact early-season seedling health. At fl owering, the SDS fungus produces toxins that cause foliar destruction, including leaf drop, aborted pods and, ultimately, yield loss. Because SDS attacks the root fi rst, by the time above-ground symptoms are visible, it’s too late to protect against the disease.

PRR is the third-most yield-stealing disease in soybeans. Plants infected early in the season with the fungus Phytophthora may appear as leaf blight, not showing symptoms until later in the season. Typically, early-season symptoms include seed rot (preemergence damping off) or yellowing, wilting and death of emerging seedlings. As plants enter the fl owering stage and begin to set pods, symptoms of late-season Phytophthora stem and root rot may develop. Infected older plants show reduced vigor or gradually die over the season. The stems show brown discoloration, which extends upward from below the soil line. Phytophthora root and stem rot is more likely to occur in cool, wet weather conditions and must be managed early on. Once it infects a fi eld, little can be done to reverse the damage itcan cause.

IDC is a soybean condition most common in the upper Midwest and Northern Plains states where soils tend to have higher carbonates and/or soluble salts. It is expressed in new leaf tissue as an interveinal yellowing while the veins remain green. As the defi ciency progresses, leaf tissue and even the growing point can die. While iron is an essential micronutrient for the plant, and there is typically an abundance of iron in the soil, it must be available in the soluble form the plant needs. The effect of IDC is reduced plant growth, and it can lead to a reduction in yield potential. Even a temporary yellowing is associated with yield loss. Soybean IDC severity is made worse in cool, wet soils and soils with high residual nitrate.

IDC

FELS, caused by the fungus Cercospora sojina, is a common soybean foliar disease in the South, with potential to cause more than 30 percent annual yield loss if not properly managed. It’s a more recent disease in midwestern states and has spread into the upper Midwest as well. Warmer winter temperatures, susceptible soybean germplasm and reduced tillage lead to more frequent outbreaks of Frogeye leaf spot. Although infection may begin at any stage of development, Frogeye leaf spot most often occurs after fl owering. Typically, it’s seen in the upper canopy as small dark spots on the leaves. The spots are angular with light gray centers and distinct purple to red-brown margins. Individual leaf spots can merge to form larger patterns of blight on the leaf. When the infection occurs, it can lead to poor germination and premature leaf drop.

RKN

RKN is a scourge to soybeans in the southern U.S., damaging plants and even leading to early death and low yields. These soil-borne microorganisms invade plant roots, seeking to establish the crop’s vascular system as a specialized feeding site. When they succeed, the cellular makeup of the plant changes, and large knots develop around the feeding site and nematode itself. As RKN populations in a fi eld rise, root galling increases. RKN can infect a majority of southern row crop species including corn, soybeans, cotton and grain sorghum and can overwinter. Most farmers don’t realize that their soybean fi elds have been invaded by nematodes as these pests can feed off soybean roots for weeks before any above-ground symptoms appear. By then, nematode damage is diffi cult to control.

ROOT-KNOT NEMATODE

SWM, caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, is a soybean disease that affects growers in the upper Midwest. The disease thrives in cool, wet conditions during the early reproductive stages when fl ower petals are abundant. Early planting dates, narrow-row width systems, soil tillage, high plant populations and high soil fertility can increase potential for white mold infection. White mold may be fi rst apparent when single plants found in a healthy canopy wilt and rapidly die. Leaves may look gray-green, off-color or wilted, and cankers may appear on the stems at the nodes. White mold can cause yield losses ranging from 10 to 30 percent by reducing pod number and weight and by impacting soybean quality. If White mold is found in a fi eld, it’s recommended that the fi eld be harvested last to avoid spreading the disease via harvest equipment.

Make the most of your soybean seed investment by preparing your seeds for strong early-season growth. Research shows growers can enhance seed emergence and vigor through the use of seed treatments. In fact, the use of soybean seed treatments has risen during the last several years as growers see how effective seed treatments can be in controlling early yield threats, resulting in a healthier, more vigorous crop and increased profi t potential.

Protect Your Seed Investment

To complicate matters, SDS may appear earlier and can be more severe in fi elds infested with Soybean Cyst Nematode (SCN). SCN wreaks havoc by attacking and damaging plant roots and causes more yield loss in soybeans than any other pest. The fi ve-year annual average yield loss from SCN is estimated to be 103 million bushels in the U.S.,* and that number is only expected to grow as resistance to seed genetics increases.

SDS continues to be a major issue in soybean-growing regions and has now been documented in every state where soybeans are grown. On average, the damage caused by SDS costs soybean growers over 45 million bushels in yield loss, even though growers may not even realize this yield robber has infected their fi eld until the end of the season when foliar symptoms may appear.

Fighting Top Yield Robbers – SDS & SCN

• Nematodes can cause stunting, thin stands, chlorosis, root decay and other damage. However, symptoms of nematodes often cannot be seen or are confused with other problems.

• Once in a fi eld, SCN cannot be eliminated, making it essential to actively manage this pest with multiple strategies.

The practice of growing SCN-resistant soybean varieties is considered to be the most effective tool for the management of SCN, but it is far from a complete solution. Combining resistant seed varieties with the right seed treatment is critical to helping seedlings get the best possible start.

*Sources: 2016 U.S. Summary – Soy Disease Loss Estimates. Dr. Carl Bradley

SDS attacks the plants in two phases:• Below ground: Initial infections of SDS occur on the roots

and crowns of young soybean seedlings, resulting in Fusarium root rot that reduces root mass and can lead to yield reductions.

• Above ground: Later in the season, the fungus produces toxins that can cause visual symptoms as well as leaf drop, reduced pod fi ll and, ultimately, yield loss.

Once present in a fi eld, the fungus remains in the soil, even with crop rotations, and can be spread by soil movement to neighboring fi elds.

ILeVO® PROTECTS AGAINST SDS & SCN TO HELP OPTIMIZE SEED PERFORMANCE

ILeVO is the �rst soybean seed treatment product that offers protection against Sudden Death Syndrome and nematodes in the seed zone.

• Controls Fusarium root rot at the initial infection site before above-ground symptoms become visible.

• Broad-spectrum nematicide that provides protection from plant-parasitic nematodes in the seed zone, including SCN, root-knot nematode and reniform nematode.

• Complements current genetics, improving the yield potential of SDS-resistant varieties and/or SCN-resistant varieties.

• Protects against key pests in opposing weather conditions. While nematode damage increases in hot, dry conditions, SDS thrives in cool, wet conditions.

ILeVO seed treatment is the only product that offers effective protection against SDS and nematodes, including SCN, in the seed zone, resulting in healthier plants and higher yield potential.

Advantages of ILeVO Seed Treatment

With ILeVO seed treatment, growers see an average yield benefi t of 2#–#4* bu/A in the absence of foliar SDS symptoms or under low to moderate nematode pressure, and an average yield increase of 4#–#10* bu/A when foliar SDS symptoms are present.

*Compared to fungicide/insecticide seed treatments in 337 variety locations over six years.
