Stop white mold from spreading in 2024

A soybean educator is encouraging farmers to track where white mold outbreaks are occurring this fall.

Michigan State University Extension’s Mike Staton tells Brownfield changes to tillage and crop rotation can reduce the impact of the fungus next year.

“Do not till the field, leave them on the surface in these bad white mold areas or bad white mold fields, and then plant a non-host crop the next year,” he recommends.
