Integrated Pest Management Options

Can occur on all soil types and environmental conditions. Disease losses are greatest when a dry spring is followed by wet conditions. Few management options exist since no resistant or tolerant varieties are available. Seed treatment and crop rotation with corn and small grains can help minimize the disease.

Seed Treatment

Comments
For commercial application only. Do not use in hopper-box, planter-box, slurry-box or other non-commercial seed treatment applications at or immediately before planting.

Comments
For both commercial seed treatment plants and on-farm treatment using standard gravity or mist type seed treatment equipment. Compatible with Rhizobium-based inoculants. Check with innoculant manufacturers prior to use. Ensure uniform coverage.

Comments
Drill box application. Ensure uniform coverage on seed. Do not apply Anchor through commercial seed treating equipment or through an auger, as excessive seed wetness may result. Do not graze or feed livestock on treated areas for 4 weeks after planting.

Comments
Do not store treated soybean seed. May be applied through commercial seed treatment equipment or auger. Ensure uniform coverage.
