The BIG 3

Tar Sport Detected

It may seem early for tar spot development, but early season development has been common in other states where the fungus has existed for a few years.

Soybean Gall Midge

Soybean gall midge adults have been detected in east-central Nebraska, marking the beginning of the 2025 emergence period and signaling risk for soybean fields.

The very first western bean cutworm (WBC) moths have been reported from eastern locations in Nebraska. It is time to start thinking about scheduling for scouting for this important pest of corn and dry beans.
