Brief Project Summary:

Insect pests are a major limiting factor to producing soybeans in South Carolina. Numerous species like stink bugs, podworm, soybean looper, velvetbean caterpillar, green cloverworm, threecornered alfalfa hopper, kudzu bugs, lesser cornstalk borer and many others, infest soybeans in the state annually. Data and recommendations regarding efficacy of insecticides and appropriate timing and termination of chemical control are needed. This work addresses the pod-feeding complex and includes defoliators and stem feeders, as well. This project provide insecticide efficacy data on stink bugs and other arthropod pests in soybeans and investigates appropriate timings for initiating and terminating insecticide applications for stink bugs and other major insect pests.
