On Thursday Extension Plant Pathologist Loren Giesler shared a 30-second video on Twitter on finding soybean stem canker in a southeast Nebraska soybean field.

While relatively uncommon in Nebraska, Giesler recommends keeping an eye out for this disease and shows what to look for and how to distinguish it from phythophthora.
