🤔What do soybean flower structures have to do with white mold development...... a lot according to @BisonBeanDoc #farmingtips #cropprotection #soybeans

Grateful to have joined @agbt Agriculture 2025 at Caribe Royale, Orlando, Florida! Loved connecting with amazing researchers & industry folks, and sharing our work on wheat cultivar Sumai 3. Thanks to my PI Jason Fiedler, Thomas Baldein, & NDSU Plant Path. See you in Phoenix, AZ

Yield and maturity are two of the most important factors in choosing a soybean variety. More tips from @kreutzgustavo in the video, or read the fact sheet: bugwoodcloud.org/resource/files… @NDSUPlantPath @NDSUExtension @NDAgExpStation @NDSoybean

North Dakota #soybean farmers should prepare for potentially cooler weather this season in the Northern Great Plains. As @W_Webster74 says, seed treatments for fungicides will be especially important! @NDSUPlantPath @NDSUExtension @NDAgExpStation @NDSoybean

Just published! Alireza Poursafar, Yueqiang Leng, and Shaobin Zhong aimed to develop a CRISPR/Cas9-mediated approach for efficiently knocking out genes of Bipolaris sorokiniana. @NDSUPlantPath Learn more about the research: doi.org/10.1094/PHYTOF…

A special congrats to @NDSUPlantPath graduate student, Abbeah Mae Navasca along with Dr. Thomas Baldwin, for being awarded $20,000 for the project, "Cross-infectivity, Genomic Analysis, and Transcriptomic Profiling of Fusarium graminearum in Artificial Barley-Broadleaf Crop Rotation." "The direct outcomes of this project will improve crop rotation strategies through a deeper understanding of these biological mechanisms. We expect that farmers will consider changing their crop rotation sequence relative to the results of our study," said Mae Navasca. This grant was awarded as part of NCR-SARE's 2024 Graduate Student Grant Program, a competitive grant program to fund graduate student projects that address sustainable agriculture issues.

Sudden Death Syndrome of #Soybeans (SDS) was first confirmed in the state in 2018 in Richland County and may be continuing to spread across North Dakota. SDS causes root rotting and produces a plant toxin that moves up from the root tissue into the rest of the plant. 🌱 Wade Webster, @NDSUExtension Soybean Pathology Specialist, recently discussed how to identify SDS in #soybeans for producers to begin scouting their fields.
