Brief Project Summary:

Gaining a greater understanding of insect complexes will enable specialists to develop better guidelines for treating insect populations. This project will focus on evaluating the efficacy of new and current insecticides for control of soybean arthropod pests; defining economic injury levels and economic thresholds for redbanded stink bug in soybean based on yield and quality at different planting dates; determining the upper and lower development thresholds and super cooling points for Louisiana soybean stink bug complex; and monitoring soybean looper populations throughout Louisiana for resistance to Intrepid 2F and cross resistance to alternate chemistries.

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.
