Pete,
Here is a link to a good article from the Pioneer website regarding Spider Mites. I have been in quite a few bean fields this week and I have been able to find a few spider mites in pretty much every field. There is not a lot of damage showing up in many fields yet, but they are definitely there and if this hot, dry weather continues( and it looks like it is going to) we could start to see a lot of fields showing the effects.
I would not be surprised to see many, if not most, soybean fields needing to be sprayed in the next week or so. Hopefully we get some rain and it knocks them back so we don’t have to spray. We will have to wait and see what happens. I will try and update you early next week on what we are seeing in our area.
