Location Summary

Soybeans were planted on stale seedbeds in excellent moisture. Soybean plants emerged quickly to very good stands. Heavy infestations of bean leaf beetles warranted two applications of ASSNAXL, which gave good control. Soybeans grew off well during the hot and dry months of May and June. Very timely rains in June, July and August rescued the test, resulting in good yields at harvest.
