Three articles were posted this afternoon to the Meadowlark Extension District Agronomy Blog @ blogs.k-state.edu/meadowlarkagro…: - Fall Armyworm Scouting Update - Soybean Drydown/Harvest Moisture - Herbicide Efficacy Plots Open for Viewing

@rodtangeman @KSUCropdiseases ?

Southern Rust has been confirmed in multiple counties in NEK. See last week's KSU eUpdate ( eupdate.agronomy.ksu.edu/article/southe… ) for information plus a few additional thoughts at our Meadowlark Extension District blog: blogs.k-state.edu/meadowlarkagro…

@rodtangeman Central part of the county.

The two most recent confirmations of Tar Spot in Kansas came from our own back yard in Jefferson and Nemaha Counties. Levels are (thus far...) light. Learn more at: blogs.k-state.edu/meadowlarkagro…

Tar spot of corn was confirmed in several fields in Doniphan County. This report is about a month earlier than last season for Kansas. Check out the article to learn more about the concern for yield loss. bit.ly/45ba3bR #corn #kansas

Low levels of Tar Spot has now been confirmed in Kansas

Today's eUpdate has articles on off-target herbicide movement with wind erosion, preemergence herbicides for #soybeans, row spacing for soybeans, upcoming changes related to the Endangered Species Act, and more! bit.ly/3xuGcOB

Here's an example of how winter annuals (henbit) affect winter wheat by using available moisture. It's doing the same thing in fields going to corn or soybean! @CentralKsCrops

Alfalfa weevil numbers continue to rise across NEK. See the progress in this week's blog post this week at: blogs.k-state.edu/meadowlarkagro… . It also includes posts on Roughleaf Dogwood and buckbrush.

Alfalfa weevil control is problematic in Kansas for several reasons, but probably first and foremost is the weather. Check out the article for an insect update on alfalfa weevils: bit.ly/4aqUXA7

The K-State Research and Extension publication Foliar Fungicide Efficacy for Wheat Disease Management has been updated for 2024! Check it out here: bit.ly/4a50pcc #wheat #KState

Alfalfa weevil pressure ramped up in NEK this week. Are we at threshold levels yet? Check out what we found during scouting this week at: blogs.k-state.edu/meadowlarkagro…

@westksbugs Found one (very small) out of 25 stems in a stand in NEK this morning.

Alfalfa weevil scouting should be underway across the state. Anyone seeing activity in the southern counties yet? Don't forget about the handy growing degree calculator on KS Mesonet!

Check out the article for an update on the EPA issuing a cancellation order allowing the sale and use of products already in the distribution system. bit.ly/3wjwgHc

The EPA has issued an existing stocks order for Xtendimax, Engenia, and Tavium. In KS, the last date for sale is May 31 for soybean and June 30 for cotton. Application cutoffs are still June 30 for soybean and July 30 for cotton.

K-State's Ag Econ @AgManagerInfo is hosting a webinar tomorrow (Friday, Feb 2) at 12:00 CT to discuss the ARC and PLC options for this year’s selection and where supplemental coverage options could be a fit with a PLC selection. Register to attend: agmanager.info/events/managin…
