Brief Project Summary:

Insecticide residual activity can vary depending on several factors including the particular insecticide material, the susceptibility of the insect species to the material, and weather conditions. Understanding the nature of residual activity is essential to making an effective control decision. In this project, researchers will determine the duration of control provided by commonly used foliar insecticides for major insect pests (stink bugs, bean leaf beetles, Japanese beetles, and green cloverworm) when exposed to field conditions. They will also develop a web-based platform to make this information available to farmers and crop advisors to help inform management decisions in Illinois soybean fields.

Key Benefactors:
farmers, applicators, agronomists, extension specialists

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.
