Brief Project Summary:

The subject of this proposal is research and outreach on soybean entomology in the North Central Region. The program areas in this proposal encompass extension and outreach of project results, insect monitoring and management for new and emerging insect pests in the region, aphid-resistant varieties and virulent aphid biotypes, and biological control. Projects within these program areas include the creation and distribution of extension deliverables, stink bug monitoring and management, studies on the ability of pollinators to increase yield potential, monitoring for soybean aphid insecticide resistance, breeding for aphid-resistant varieties, genotyping and mapping virulent aphid biotypes...

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.
