Are late planted soybeans at risk?

Kiersten Wise, Purdue University Extension crop disease specialist says a result of the late planted soybeans in the Midwest this spring are questions about whether or not the crop is at greater risk this year for potential yield loss from soybean rust and other diseases. Wise says because of weather conditions in the southern areas of the country where soybean rust overwinters, late planting in the Midwest doesn’t necessarily lead to a higher risk.
