Brief Project Summary:

Soybean Insects and Pests can reduce yield and quality. Presently, insect pest treatment thresholds for soybean are provided for individual species and information is lacking about the amount of damage that can occur when different densities of different pests occur simultaneously at different stages of soybean development. Insects and Pests can frequently be present as an economically damaging complex in Alabama in August and earlier in Southern Alabama. Typically, these complexes include both foliage feeders (worms, beetles and grasshoppers) and pod feeders (soybean pod worms, bean leaf beetles and stink bugs). Young seeds can be deformed, undersize or aborted, whereas older seed will...

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.
