Soybean issues

My wife decided it would be a great idea to grow some soybeans this year for edamame. I have never grown a soybean in my life. She ended up buying the variety "Butterbean" and I ended up planting it. I have something going on with what looks to me like a fungus or nutrient deficiency. I attached a picture below. I did some research online but truly have no clue what is wrong. They have been sprayed once with Pyganic 5.0 pesticide (Yes, organic) and once with liquid copper about 7 days ago. The damage ot the leaves appeared during the last rain storm. Any help is appreciated.

I am growing that variety, too in N Central Ark. It may be a fungus, but I am not sure. Mine seem to like only a small amount of soil moisture and keeping the soil cultivated to get more oxygen to tthe roots.

One thing I found out the hard way is that seed germination and sprouting is severely hampered by too much moisture, so I don't even water them until they are well established and the leaves are curling up. HTH
 
You can see I have drip tape in the photo but have not yet turned it on. Unfortunately here in Massachusetts we have had high heat and humidity followed by 2-3 days of rain & humidity for the last three weeks. Since yesterday morning we have gotten over an inch of rain. Conditions are perfect for fungus.
 
Yessir. Maybe when the ground dries out a little more you can stir the dirt a little. Good luck, nothing tastes like fresh edamame! I just boil mine for less than two minutes, throw on a little salt, and sit back and chow down.
