Join Drs. Maggie Lewis, Horacio Lopez-Nicora, and Aaron Wilson for a webinar titled "Weather Trends and Pest and Disease Impacts on Soybeans" on Tuesday, June 25, 2024, from 8:30-10:00 am ET. The session will provide updates on climate trends affecting soybean pests and diseases, such as rising winter temperatures and extreme weather. It will explore how climate change-induced abiotic stressors impact insect pest dynamics, including population growth, geographic range, and phenology. Additionally, the webinar will analyze the influence of weather patterns on diseases like sudden death syndrome, frog eye leaf spot, white mold, and seedling rot caused by Phytophthora and Pythium. Effective management strategies and innovative solutions for sustainable soybean production will be discussed.
