The availability of soybean lines that are resistant to soybean aphids will have a major impact on management of soybean aphids, with the potential for significantly reducing the use of insecticides and their associated costs. However, the development of soybean aphid biotypes that can overcome resistance in soybean varieties will threaten the long-term effectiveness of host plant resistance. Consequently, continuous study of soybean aphid-resistant cultivars in the field is necessary to stay ahead of the pest. Also, the impact of soybean aphid-resistant cultivars and insecticides on populations of soybean aphids and their natural enemies will have ecological implications that will affect...
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.
