Frogeye leaf spot losses in soybean jumped from ~460,000 bushels a year in the late 90s to 7.6 million bushels a year by the mid-2010s, per CPN's Yield Loss Calculator. Check your region: cropprotectionnetwork.org/yi… #NPMTI #AgriculturalTools #CropForecasting #Soybeans

NPMTI detected areolate mildew spores in Tennessee a year before the disease was found in the state’s cotton fields. That’s a major win for our cotton research and a powerful example of what earlier detection can make possible. Hear the story from our Tennessee team. #NPMTIWins
