Brief Project Summary:

Earlier plant dates have been recommended in Iowa to obtain maximum yields. However, these earlier planting dates are associated with additional disease, insect and pest problems that impact yield. The earlier dates increase the risk of bean leaf beetle feeding and transmission of bean pod mottle virus, seedling diseases caused by fungal pathogens, sudden death syndrome, frost damage and changes in soil characteristics that reduce soybean yield potentials.
