Information And Results
Project Deliverables

1. Detailed weekly or bi-weekly distribution maps by county for all states infested with the invasive species or adjacent to bug-positive counties and states.
2. Action thresholds for kudzu bugs in soybeans.
3. Defined susceptibility of soybean growth stages to kudzu bug.
4. Information on the importance of planting date and maturity group of soybeans in the management of kudzu bugs in the crop.
5. Data concerning the within-field spatial distribution of kudzu bugs in soybeans.
6. Components of yield loss associated with kudzu bug infestations in soybeans.
7. Data on the developmental biology of kudzu bugs.

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.
