Brief Project Summary:

In soybean fields of Kentucky there are two recurrent stink bug species that require control; the green stink bug (GSB), and the brown stink bug (BSB). However, there are two invasive species; the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), and the redbanded stink bug (RBSB). BMSB and RBSB may cause problems because they are expanding their geographically range. Moreover, studies on these two invasive species have shown that they persist when insecticides used to control the GSB and BSB are applied. In this project we will complete an educational comprehensive study for management strategies against stink bugs affecting soybeans in Kentucky. We will accomplish this with the following more specific...

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

Villanueva and extension agent cooperators (Caldwell, Lyon, Daviess, Muhlenberg and Trigg Counties) of this project will coordinate activities to conduct successful educational programs and participate in field days in 2018 and 2019. As well, in this project we plan to conduct in situ events with farmer cooperators. Among the different events, this project will present the results in Caldwell County during the winter, spring and fall field days scheduled at the Research and Education Center in Princeton. Villanueva and the graduate student will make use of the demonstration and replicates plots for these events. During these events, participants will be asked to provide comments on topics covered, evaluate the delivery methods, and provide information on knowledge advancement prior and post each events. The educational events will also be evaluated for preference and effectiveness. In addition, science based materials from this project will be published using diverse media tools (web page, YouTube, Fact sheets, and printed materials).

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.
