Recent reports indicate that green stem is becoming more common in Midwest soybean fields and incidence within fields is increasing, often affecting entire fields.
Determining the cause and management of green stem disorder is an active area of research in the North Central region.
Choosing a less sensitive soybean variety is currently the most effective way to reduce the risk of green stem.
