Wade Webster

Check out the field research being done by the NDSU Extension Soybean Pathology lab in 2025. ndsu.edu/agriculture/ex…

First soybean trials of 2026 season for Webster lab going in the ground today.

Hot off the press‼️New predictive models for Frogeye Leaf Spot of soybeans developed by @Jgonzacu and lots of great collaborators. These models have also been integrated on the Crop Protection Networks Crop Risk Tool. Check them out before this season! #Sec14" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nature.com/articles/s4159…

“Chemical management strategies do not result in complete control of white mold and, therefore, should be considered only as one component of an integrated management program. Reduction of white mold incidence achieved by fungicides in university field trials has ranged from zero to approximately 60%.” From the updated publication An Overview of White Mold at cropprotectionnetwork.org/publications/a… by @badgercropdoc @cropdisease @MartinChilvers1 @travisfaske @DylanMangel @dsmuelle @ISU_IPM @BisonBeanDoc @cropdoc08 +more @AlbertTenuta @baldpathologist @MandyBish1 @MahDuffeck @maddishires @DTelenko #soybeans #USSoy

“The pesticide programs with the highest probability of being profitable for white mold management were Cobra at R1, Cobra at V4/V5, Endura at R3, and Delaro Complete at R3 across varying levels of [disease].... Although the average yield increase associated with Cobra in the meta-analysis was relatively modest, its lower cost and moderate white mold control resulted in a high likelihood of positive net return.” From the updated publication "Pesticide Impact on White Mold and Soybean Yield" at cropprotectionnetwork.org/publications/p… by @hoperbecton @MartinChilvers1 @dsmuelle @badgercropdoc @DTelenko @BisonBeanDoc +more @SoyResearchInfo @WISoyCheckoff @MichiganSoybean @IowaSoybeans @INSoybean @NDSUExtension @NDAgExpStation @ILSoybean #soybeans #USSoy

Before you plan your 2026 soybean management decisions, take a few minutes to explore the 2025 Soybean Pathology Field Research Report and see what our researchers are finding in North Dakota fields. Read the report >>> ndsu.edu/agriculture/ex…

"SDS management strategies include planting soybean varieties with resistance to SDS, managing SCN, using effective fungicide seed treatments, improving soil drainage in fields with recurring SDS, rotating crops, avoiding or reducing soil compaction, and maintaining proper pH and fertility levels. An integrated SDS management strategy is essential, as no single tactic is likely to provide complete control when conditions are favorable for SDS development."
