Brief Project Summary:

This project involves developing management strategies for the use of diamide insecticides in soybeans that will mitigate resistance development and thus prolong and preserve their effectiveness. Research aims to quantify the variation in response of bollworm to diamide insecticides, determine influence of selection pressure on resistance development in bollworm, soybean looper and beet armyworm, correlate field control with this insecticide class against resistant and susceptible insect populations and determine heritability and mechanisms of resistance in these insects.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, agronomists, extension agents

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.
