Brief Project Summary:

The researchers will establish the geographic distribution of chlorpyrifos and bifenthrin resistance in Minnesota Two-Spotted Spider Mite (TSSM) populations. The researchers will also assess the impact of seed and foliar applications of neonicotinoid insecticides on TSSM populations to determine if resistant populations are developing.

Information And Results
Project Deliverables

1. Geographic distribution of chlorpyrifos- and bifenthrin-resistant Two-Spotted Spider Mite (TSSM) populations in Minnesota.
2. Impact of seed and foliar applications of neonicotinoid insecticides on TSSM populations and potential of resistant populations.

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.
