Information on Insect & Disease Control in Soybeans



We have several sites in the area that monitor corn earworm moth flights from corn to cotton and soybeans. As expected, numbers started to climb during the full moon in July. Please see trap data for more information.


I have been sweeping fields this past week and found corn earworms at threshold levels in just about every field, and I have seen moths moving around. Although blooms attract moths, research has shown that pods need to be present for insecticide sprays to be effective against podworms in soybeans.
