Because of decreasing availability of broad spectrum insecticides and lower insecticide use on Bt crops, stink bug levels have increased on all crops including soybean in North Carolina. The project develops thresholds for stink bugs in North Carolina that can be applied to full season or double cropped beans using various sampling devices, allowing producers to better determine when fields require scouting and to avoid unnecessary insecticide applications.
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.
