BushelUp | Early Tassel and Pest Watch | 06-30-2026

On this week’s BushelUp, Brandon is in our Aurora soybean field, as beans move into late R1 and early R2, a key window to start white mold fungicide plans and target the R2 timing. Brandon also covers fungicide strategy, and how low-rate options often mean shorter residual control, and why higher rates and longer control can matter during extended flowering. What we’re seeing with tar spot showing up at some level in most corn fields and why early tasseling corn should be watched closely for pest activity. Enjoy the Fourth of July weekend and stay safe!
