In the latest Pioneer Agronomy Update, Pioneer sales representative Leah Johnson says soybean aphids are an issue. “The guys that went out with later planting, kept the beans naked and didn’t treat them with anything, those are the fields we’re seeing the biggest populations.” Treated fields look fine, but Johnson said populations are growing. “It’s really on us to be out looking at those fields to prioritize if we’ve got to treat because the beans are still at risk.” Johnson is with Red River Marketing at Elbow Lake, Minnesota and says corn rootworm is also being seen with more corn-on-corn situations. “We’ve had a couple situations where they’re eating those silks even though pollination is done. It’s not going to affect this years yield but knowing what those populations will manage them for the future.”
