Brief Project Summary:

This project involves developing management strategies for minimizing the impact of insect pests in early soybean production systems and conventional soybean plantings. Objectives seek to identify seasonal periods that are most susceptible to damage from insect pests, evaluate the effects of season-long caterpillar control, document potential risk from caterpillar pests by using disruptive pyrethroid sprays, develop risk models for major caterpillar pests, identify periods of greatest benefit for using high-value insecticides and document potential risk vs. reward for disruptive insecticide treatments.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents

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.
