July is off to a warm and humid start. Crops in the region are looking good as we get this boost of heat and some rainfall. Make sure you are paying attention to herbicide labels as soybeans begin to flower and R1 is a critical stage. A reminder to check the weekly Ag Weather Outlook for Wisconsin for past, current, and future conditions.
Scout your fields!
Current pests to be looking for: potato leafhopper in alfalfa, true armyworm, Japanese beetles, stalk borer, and European corn borer in corn.
Current diseases to be looking for: tar spot in corn (confirmed in 5 nearby states), white mold in soybean - beginning at R1 (conditions have not been completely conducive to disease i.e. canopy closure; and warm temperatures are decreasing this risk). No reports of Southern Rust have been made so far. Have a fungicide plan if any of these diseases warrant treatment.
If you are seeing something in the field you would like to report or need help identifying, contact the Extension office.
Happy Independence Day!
