Soybean aphid is increasing as a risk, but has not been a significant pest since it's introduction. It is likely to be a significant pest only on late maturing beans.
NEW FOR 2005
Treat if: the aphid population reaches an average of 250 aphids per plant in the V (vegetative) through R5 (beginning seed) stages, as calculated
using a 30 plant per field, sample. Application at R6 (full seed) may, but is not likely, to have an economically positive effect. Application after R6 in
not warranted.
Research continues on the soybean aphid. For the most current information, go to http://www.uky.edu/Ag/IPMPrinceton/SoybeanAphid/sbaphidindex.htm
