Brief Project Summary:

Stink bugs are important constraints to yield and quality. However, no economic injury levels or thresholds have been developed for the most recent troublesome soybean stink bug; the red banded stink bug (RBSB), Piezodoris guildinii. The project's objective is to determine the RBSB density/damage relationships specific to various soybean developmental stages (R1-R7). Knowledge of these relationships will enable farmers to apply insecticides based on specific red banded stink bug population densities corresponding to various soybean reproductive stages.

In cooperation with other researchers, we will evaluate the comparative insect resistance/tolerance of selected cultivars and genotypes...

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.
