Check Soybeans for Stem Rot Spread in Iowa Fields
Extension Director Jim Frier advises Washington County soybean growers to inspect fields for brown stem rot a fungus causing up to 35 percent yield losses. ISU plant pathologist Robert C. Lambe notes rising incidence from 6 percent in 1956 to 56 percent this summer. To test, sample plants about 10 days before maturity and split the lower stem to look for brown tissue. If infected, rotate crops for three years and avoid border plantings around cornfields to limit soil contamination.
