Research on soybean aphids is a relatively new effort in South Dakota. This project supports the SDSU program to study the management and ecology of soybean insects. The long-term scientific goal of the research effort is to develop an IPM system for soybean insect pests that minimize insecticide use and costs, while maximizing the role of natural enemies and resistant soybean varieties.
