Thank you for visiting the new Plant Health Initiative (PHI) website, home of the most recent soybean management information and checkoff-funded production research results.

We recently redesigned this site to make it even easier for soybean growers to find:

• Agronomic information and recommendations covering everything from soil preparation, planting dates and seeding rates to managing for high yields and precision agriculture

• Unbiased information on soybean pest and disease management and control strategies, from aphids and Asian to SCN and sudden death syndrome

• No-cost publications and materials detailing the latest research from NCSRP-funded scientists throughout the 12-state region

• Diagnostic tools such as scouting guidelines and photo galleries, to help you identify and manage soybean pests and diseases

• The latest research and recommendations on biological control, including the natural enemies that help control soybean aphid

• Links to national and state resources, such as soybean variety trials, crop reports and pest bulletins

I encourage you to look around a while, and check back often – we post new research results, information updates and state-specific management recommendations regularly.

Please contact us with any questions, to let us know if you find this information useful – or if there’s something we’re missing.
