Brief Project Summary:

Soybean growers continually face the threat of insects inflicting heavy damage. The stink bug complex, particularly the brown marmorated stink bug, is one emerging problem in Ohio. Similarly, the kudzu bug has a strong potential to invade and damage Ohio soybeans. Among the established pests, soybean aphid continues to impact soybean yield. These pests pose an even greater threat to specialty soybeans because of their higher nutritional quality. This project intends to develop studies to understand the distribution and potential risks of emerging and established pests, develop genetic resistance to these pests and develop and implement insect pest management recommendations before serious and economic damage occurs.

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.
