Louisiana soybeans are attacked by a diverse insect pest complex, but the primary problems in recent years are associated with stink bugs, three-corned alfalfa hoppers, bean leaf beetles and several Lepidopteran defoliators (velvet bean caterpillar, soybean looper and green cloverworm). One or more of these pests are significant annual problems and are responsible for limiting soybean yields in Louisiana. To address these concerns, this research project will continue to evaluate new and current chemical control strategies, but also attempt to improve information on the interaction of these pests in the soybean agroecosystem.
