Bean pod mottle virus (BPMV) remains the most prevalent viral disease on soybean in the U.S. This project aims to elucidate the effect of row spacing on the temporal and spatial spread of BPMV, and to quantify and predict the winter survival of the primary vectors, the bean leaf beetle and the Japanese beetle. The information generated from this study will be integrated to improve BPMV disease management.
