Brief Project Summary:

The adoption of reduced tillage, Roundup Ready and early season soybean production has caused changes in soybean insect management. Soybean insect management has become even more important in recent years, and changes in production have resulted in a need for increased awareness of soybean insect pests. These production changes also created a need to educate growers and other decision-makers on the proper methods for monitoring insects and increase the awareness of the proper management techniques for effective and economical insect control. This project makes sure soybean producers’ money is wisely spent for insect management.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, Extension agents, crop scouts
