CROP | Soybeans

THREAT | Disease

MISSION | 1 2 3 4 5 6

Brown Stem Rot poses a significant threat to soybean yields, requiring immediate action to minimize losses.

PROBLEM

Brown Stem Rot was detected in 36% of the field during Mission 5.
The disease has a high potential to impact yields, with severely affected plants facing up to a 30% yield loss.
Even plants without visible symptoms could experience a 5-15% yield reduction.

RECOMMENDATION

Apply a foliar fungicide to slow the spread of the disease and protect the uninfected leaf tissue.
Review the use of seed-resistant varieties for future planting.
Consider rotating to a non-host crop, such as corn, in the next planting cycle.

OPPORTUNITY

Retailer Opportunity
Boost revenue with additional fungicide applications that protect crop health and deliver measurable ROI for growers.

Grower Opportunity
Secure stronger yields and profitability — an 8.5-bushel gain translated to $87 per acre, a 16% increase.
