As soybean growers head to the field, the Iowa Soybean Association (ISA) has made a wealth of agronomic information available to take along, via smartphone.

ISA encourages farmers to check out ISA Mobile (www.iasoybeans.mobi) while doing fieldwork this spring. The association has added a number of production research resources to the website specially adapted for mobile devices. Among the easily accessible publications are the popular Weed Identification Field Guide, featuring full color photos, and the recently published Soybean Diseases book, with identification and management help regarding 25 soybean diseases. Besides video, the site also features podcasts that farmers can listen to while doing fieldwork; topics covered in the podcasts range from optimum planting dates to managing early season diseases and pests.

ISA Director of Contract Research David Wright says, “This is an ideal resource for busy farmers and crop specialists.”

There is no cost to access this valuable soybean agronomic information, derived from checkoff supported research at Iowa State University.
