Brief Project Summary:

This project has three primary objectives: The first is to evaluate the release of the Asian parasitoid wasp, Binodoxys communis, for biological control of soybean aphid. A second is the validation of the soybean aphid threshold under narrow row spacing. And, a third is to determine the impact of natural enemies (native predators and pathogens) on soybean aphid population growth rates and emigration.
