Objective 1 is to perform field work to determine what soybean planting dates put beans at most risk for stand loss from Asiatic garden beetle grubs. This pest is most common in sandy soils and frequently affects corn in Ohio, but can also cause economic loss in soybean, wheat, and forage. Objective 2 is to monitor Ohio soybean aphid populations for both budding insecticide resistance and tolerant-variety adapted biotypes, growing problems in other states for which we need baseline information here. Objective 3 is to publish a new quick-ID card focuses on the various caterpillar species that affect soybean in Ohio, which will be useful for management. These objectives contribute to the OSC goals to Drive Innovation by gaining new knowledge, and Build Understanding by providing education.
