| PaKettle - 8/7/2015 23:02 Last time we had aphids bad, the leaves were starting to curl with the sap being sucked out of them. We sprayed and the beans came right back to life, and were the only soybeans we grew over 70 bu. It's like the short term stress made them yield better. My previous experience, it might be different next time.
I will completely agree with this, if the beans have adequate rainfall or soil moisture to finish them after the bugs are dealt with. If it hasn't rained for 40 days and won't in the near future the beans aren't going to rebound and the magnitude of damage will be much greater. |
