Brief Project Summary:

This proposal requests support of Extension IPM education and applied research efforts. Some funding is requested for Soybean Scout Schools which will be held in primary soybean production areas of Tennessee. Funding is also requested for two additional research projects. Research in 2007-2008 has shown that a Regent (fipronil) seed treatment reduces stem tunneling by Dectes stem borer. This chemistry provides scientists with a method of excluding Dectes larva from soybean. Preliminary indications are that eliminating Dectes by using a Regent (fipronil) seed treatment is not significantly improving yield. However, more definitive research is needed. A Regent seed treatment, plus Regent treatments...
