Symptoms of iron deficiency chlorosis (IDC) are appearing in soybean fields in the Upper Midwest.
Dennis Schultze is with Peterson Farms Seed, a seed company with customers in the Dakotas and Minnesota.
“We are seeing some IDC pressure, (but) because of the growth stages and we’ve had warmer weather and generally good moisture, I think we’re seeing a little bit less IDC pressure than what we would normally.”
IDC is a physiological disorder caused by iron deficiency in soybean plants that can result in substantial yield loss within affected areas of a field.
