Soybean vein necrosis virus (SVNV) is common this year in Alabama. SVNV is vectored by thrips. Symptoms begin as irregular yellow leaf spots that develop into reddish-brown necrotic lesions that are often angular as they spread along leaf veins Crop Protection Network (CPN) #Soybean #Virus

Last drone spray for corn and soybeans, and the season is about to end. Continue collecting disease data. In corn, visual differences between the treatments (so far the untreated is severely affected), lets see what about the statistics 📊 Boris X Camiletti Bruno

Bitter rot is a fungal fruit rot of apple & pear. The disease is favored by high temperatures & high humidity. Lesions start as small sunken areas on outside of fruit. Spots turn brown, expand and develop a bulls-eye pattern. Flyspeck is also visible on fruit #Apple #Fungi

Catching the symptoms and signs of southern blight all at once is helpful to diagnose what caused a small patch of dead plants. Showing up roughly 10 days later generally leads to a diagnosis of charcoal rot……at that point the charcoal rot is secondary MS SOYBEAN BOARD #mscrops
