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.
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.
