Brief Project Summary:

Soybean growers are continually faced with the threat of insect pests inflicting heavy damage to soybean. The stink bug complex, particularly the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), is one such emerging problem in Ohio as populations causing economic damage of this insect were seen in several counties during 2012. Similarly, the kudzu bug has a strong potential to invade and damage soybean in Ohio. Among the established pests, soybean aphid continues to impact soybean yield in Ohio, even 12 years after its initial invasion. These pests pose even a greater threat to specialty soybeans because of higher nutritional quality possessed by these varieties. Impacts of emerging and established pests...

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.
