The typically stressful season of planting promises to be a welcome distraction from the year's chaotic developments.

It's time to brush up on the challenging realities of spraying dicamba safely.

EPA registered BASF's Alite 27 herbicide for use on LL GT27 soybeans, but only in select counties in some states.

A new study highlights how much farmers and the U.S. regulatory system don't know about pesticides used each year via seed treatments.

Depending on how long university shutdowns and travel restrictions last, an incalculable amount of ag research could be lost this year.

Large weed seedbanks and potential corn nutrient deficiencies could cause trouble for farmers who left fields fallow in 2019.

This corn pest may be lying low, but it remains a big threat to growers.

Farmers are focusing on planting and bracing for a tough season, as they head into the 2020 planting season amid unprecedented global unrest.

These nematodes eat insect guts for breakfast. Can they save Bt corn?

A government watchdog is planning to look into whether EPA acted properly when it registered dicamba in 2016 and 2018, as well as review states' use of 24(c) labels, oft used for dicamba in recent years.

Here's where EPA stands regarding dicamba, chlorpyrifos, paraquat, glyphosate and other ag chemicals in the spotlight.

Redbanded stink bugs, rust diseases, frogeye leaf spot and cotton nematodes are pests that might pose a greater risk to growers in 2020 after the mild winter.

Prevented planting in 2019 created a lot of first-time cover croppers.

Scientists in some southern states are observing Palmer amaranth survivors in the greenhouse following labeled dicamba applications.

Lawyers expect thousands more farmers to file dicamba injury lawsuits in the aftermath of Bader Farm's successful court case against Bayer and BASF.

Speakers highlighted the need for scientists, regulators, farmers and companies to respond to a warmer world, with more frequent heavy rain events.

EPA will continue its re-registration process for chlorpyrifos, with a proposed interim decision expected this fall.

Syngenta is introducing a soybean variety with a new source of SCN resistance, PI 89772, as early as 2020.

Many growers are losing hundreds of dollars per acre to SCN, and the trait that could help remains stubbornly scarce.

Chances are high that the frogeye leaf spot pathogen in your soybean field is resistant to QoI fungicides, including strobilurins.

EPA proposed re-registering three common seed treatment insecticides with some new use restrictions and label language.

Although other safety assessments lie ahead for the chemical, the interim decision confirms that the herbicide will remain available for farmers.

A novel Bt trait, new herbicide tolerance, low-gossypol cotton and reniform-resistance may be coming soon to a field near you.

When released into a field, the genetically modified moths lower the immediate pest population before gradually dying out.

Herbicide antagonism is a growing problem as herbicide tank mixes become more complex.

The work of young ag researchers is on display this week -- and hints at the future of the industry.
