Brief Project Summary:

Management of soybean aphid relies on applications of broad-spectrum insecticides. We will decrease insecticide use and ameliorate associated environmental impacts through development of aphid-resistant soybean and advancement of remote scouting.

This project is four years in length and total projects costs are approximately $600,000. We are requesting funding from Minnesota Soybean for 20% of one year's budget, for a total of almost $30,000. The balance of the project will be funded through an appropriation from the Environment and Natural Resource Trust Fund. If the project demonstrates promising results, we will request additional funding in the future.

The MITPPC will communicate...
