Abstract

Soybean seed costs have increased more than 50 percent within the past decade. To protect seed from early season insects and diseases, seed often are treated with pesticides. The goal of this trial was to provide information on the effect of commercial seed treatments on stand count, disease incidence and severity, and yield of soybean. The Iowa Soybean Association provided funding for this trial.
