	FROM: Your Agronomy Department Allow Crops to Root Down for Better Nutrient Uptake In many areas of the Midwest, there has been so much moisture in the upper soil profile that plant roots have been shallower than normal, often staying in the top two feet of soil. Many growers are wondering whether corn and soybeans will root down deeper after they enter the reproductive stage, says a University of Nebraska professor, who offers some insights. Now is the Time to Scout for Western Bean Cutworm Western bean cutworm may be ready to peak in eggs laying in your field, which is why you’ll want to start scouting for them now. One specialist provides advice on what to be looking for. Base Soybean Management Decisions on Growth Stage In many areas this time of year, it won’t be uncommon for soybeans to range in development from beginning bloom and podding. A Purdue University specialist says it’s important to be able to identify the crop’s growth stages before making management decisions. Herbicide Resistance Expands in Waterhemp University of Illinois weed scientists recently confirmed waterhemp’s resistance to HPPD-inhibiting herbicides commonly used for control of annual broadleaf and grass weed species in corn.
