Brief Project Summary:

A better understanding of the timing of adult soybean stem borers in south central Nebraska will be useful to target foliar insecticide applications for their control. Improved sampling procedures for these insects will allow producers and crop consultants to efficiently monitor their activity and abundance to target fields with the greatest need for control. A better understanding of their distribution in Nebraska on soybeans will help us target educational programs to soybean producers, and better understand their possible economic impact.

Information And Results
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.
