Brief Project Summary:

As farmers adopt management practices to improve soybean production, insects take advantage of favorable environments and food sources. This research addresses various aspects of integrated management of problem pests in soybean production and finding solutions for farmers to effectively and economically protect soybean yield and quality. Practical trials identify and refine answers to current questions about managing in-season worms, protecting soybeans from potential insect infestations in cover crops, controlling slugs early in the season and more. The results will ensure that growers and consultants have the information and tools they need to adjust insect management.
