Brief Project Summary:

The goal of this research project is to help soybean growers respond to two new invasive insect threats, Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica) and brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys). These insects can reduce soybean yields. The threat from these new pests is two-fold: not managing these insects when they first occur and treating fields that will not benefit from the use of an insecticide. Creating a greater understanding of the economic damage and control of these new pests will assist soybean growers in Iowa.
