R3 Soybean Insecticide Decisions: Control vs. Suppression Explained
Intro 0:00 Podcast 01:12 Join Scott Dickey, Regional Agronomy Manager at Beck's Hybrids, and Wendell Koehn, Beck’s Hybrids Seed Dealer, as they discuss one of the most important late-season soybean decisions: choosing the right insecticide at the R3 growth stage. In this conversation, Scott and Wendell break down:
🌱 What’s happening in soybeans at R3 (beginning pod)
🐛 How to properly identify pod-feeding pests like soybean podworms
🎯 Why product selection matters — control vs. suppression
📊 Understanding active ingredients and modes of action
💰 Protecting yield potential and ROI with the right chemistry Not all insecticides perform the same. Some products may only suppress podworms, allowing feeding to continue and reducing pod fill. Scott explains how to evaluate labels, residual activity, and efficacy data to ensure you're selecting a product that provides true control when it counts most. Whether you're scouting your own fields or advising growers, this discussion will help you make more confident late-season management decisions.
