Nutrient imbalence
scouted Aug. 16, 2022
- Scientific Name
- Abiotic
- Background
- Soybeans in Pasquotank county, variety AgVenture 46V6X, were scouted and observed 2% of the field was affected by reddening and yellowing, and stunting. The site is localized and dry. Areas of disease start at the edges of the field and in some cases go out into the field. Plants are stunted and light green and in some cases reddish yellow in color. Affected leaves have dark veins. Also, some black lesions on stems like might be seen with kudzu bug feeding.
- Conclusion
- The issue was identified as a nutrient imbalance. Soil fertility programs can be used to increase the efficiency of the farm, reduce cost of production, minimize use of fertilizers, and minimize environmental impact. To ensure adequate nutrients are present, soil should be tested six months before planting to allow time to create a plan for liming and fertilization.
