For decades, White Mold has wreaked havoc on soybeans in the north Central region of the United States, going from a sporadic disease to an annual threat. The incidence and severity of White Mold varies from year to year, but cool and moist conditions at the time of flowering create a prime environment for White Mold development.
White Mold can substantially reduce yield and affect seed quality, especially when weather and management practices favor high yield potential. The general rule of thumb is every 10% increase in White Mold incidence can reduce yields 2-5 bushels per acre.

Corn Stalk Diseases such as Fusarium and Anthracnose are seen in varying degrees every year throughout the Midwest. Stalk Rots are caused by bacteria and fungi, and by plant stress due to flooding, drought or poor soil health.
-
Pythium is a common cause of seed rot and seedling blight in corn and soybeans due to hot and humid conditions between 85 and 95ºF. Rain and cloudy weather also promote the spreading of this disease.
Symptoms include stunted growth, wilting, and yellowing of the upper leaves. Discolored roots that slip off when pulled are indicative of Pythium infection. The disease can also cause root and stalk rot, leading to significant plant stand and yield losses.
