Brief Project Summary:

The focus of this research is to take advantage of the vaporization effect of chlorpyrifos containing insecticides to develop a reduced agent and area treatment strategy (RAATs) for soybean aphid management in Nebraska. It has been earlier noted that soybean aphids appear very susceptible to chlorpyrifos vapor, as they are killed in soybeans that are outside of a spray zone (e.g. pivot corners, non-treated plots in efficacy studies). This research is designed to determine the effective width of unsprayed strips for soybean aphid management, and also determine the effect of treated and untreated strips on natural enemies. We will also examine if other soybean pests can likewise be managed,...

Final Project Results

The United Soybean Research Retention policy will display final reports with the project once completed but working files will be purged after three years. And financial information after seven years. All pertinent information is in the final report or if you want more information, please contact the project lead at your state soybean organization or principal investigator listed on the project.
