Today, Matt and Erin discuss recent soybean pest activity. Of special note, soybean aphids can be more easily found in northern Iowa and scouting fields is highly recommended. Also, green cloverworm is making a special appearance in a few fields. Matt wraps up the podcast by sharing a research update that involves collecting pollen from honey bees to see where they are feeding.
Drs. Matt O’Neal and Erin Hodgson created a podcast to promote IPM concepts, like identification, sampling, economic thresholds, and insecticide efficacy. They also talk about updates on invasive pests and regulatory news, and translate new research relative to insects in agriculture.
