Brief Project Summary:

The soybean aphid, Aphis glycines, is the most damaging insect pest of soybean in Minnesota. Outbreaks of soybean aphid are currently managed with foliar and seed-applied insecticides. However, such reliance on insecticides is not sustainable. Potential adverse consequences include development of pest resistance to insecticides and impacts on natural enemies. From 2015 to 2017, field-level failures of pyrethroid insecticides occurred and resistance to insecticides was documented in various locations in Minnesota and neighboring states/provinces. Growers need continued information on the scope of the pyrethroid resistance problem and information on efficacy of alternative insecticides. Biological...

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.
