iWheat.org Decision Support System

The iWheat.org web application provided an effective platform to reach a wide range of interested parties including Extension agents, crop consultants, and wheat producers. It also provided the foundation for the multi-commodity site, myFields.info. The development of the iWheat site was part of a multi-state effort (USDA-Risk Avoidance and Mitigation Program) funded through the USDA that works to facilitate a long-term, area-wide management program for wheat in the Great Plains.

Dectes stem borer management

Infestations of the soybean stem borer, Dectes texanus, were first reported in Edwards, Barton, Kiowa, Ford and Pawnee counties in 1985 (Buschman and Sloderbeck 2010). Borer larvae cause severe lodging problems in north-central and southwestern Kansas, where infestations of 50 to 80 % of plants with tunneling are common (Sloderbeck et al. 2003). In Republic Co., some sites have approached 100% infestation. Damaging populations are expanding westward in soybeans and more recently in sunflowers, with infestations reported in an additional 59 counties (Buschman and Sloderbeck 2010).
