Brief Project Summary:

The objective of this project is to evaluate insect resistance of a pyramid "Benning" soybean lines developed with various insect resistant traits. Specifically, the researcher will evaluate various combinations of resistance traits that will protect soybeans during the development (seedling, vegetative and reproductive stages) against major pests in Georgia, including lesser cornstalk borer and three cornered alfalfa hopper which are pests of seeding plants, various defoliating insects (corn earworm, soybean looper, velvet bean caterpillar and Mexican bean beetle), soybean aphids that are pests of vegetative growth stages, and stick bugs injury to soybean pods.
