Brief Project Summary:

This project supports the Extension IPM educational and applied research efforts. Funding is requested for four Soybean Scout Schools that will be held in primary soybean production areas of Tennessee. Funding is also requested for two additional research projects.

Preliminary work in 2007 has identified a promising seed treatment (fipronil) for the control of Dectes stem borer. This chemistry provides scientists with a method of excluding Dectes larva from soybean plots, thus allowing a reliable approach to evaluate the impact of Dectes infestations on soybean yields. A fipronil seed treatment, overlaid on top of a Cruiser seed treatment, will be incorporated into an existing...
