Insects
This is always a hard decision to treat or not to treat for insect pressure whether its aphids, bean leaf beetles, potato leafhopper, soybean looper, or spider mites or all the above. Our biggest threat year in and year out tends to be the soybean aphid, and this year is no different. We have reports and have been seeing counts from 0-150 already. Here are some picture of what to look for when scouting.
Figure 1 Soybean Aphids
When scouting for aphids, focus first on the newest trifoliate of plant and work your way down. Treatments for these vary as we have seen some cases of resistance to some chemistries, but using two modes of action often alleviate these concerns.
Figure 2 Soybean Looper
Figure 3 Bean Leaf Beetle
The two above insects are what we classify as leaf or plant defoliators.
Generally, we want to wait until damage gets to the 30% stage before targeting these pests. Anything less than 30% tends not to be yield limiting but does still open the plant to disease. It’s always a good idea when making or adding fungicide in the tank in these cases to help the plant either stay healthy or stave off potential disease that may try and access the open tissue.
As with any type of application in crops it is important to do it right here are some tips to ensure your fungicide or insecticide pass is more successful.
- Plenty of water – 15-20 gallons with the right nozzles
- Timeliness – Make sure to scout to ensure we are at that target threshold or plant stage.
- Rates – with resistance issues, a multiple mode of action for both treatments is vital
- Adjuvants – As with weed control, the proper adjuvant will drastically increase effectiveness and success.
- Product selection – there are a lot of generic products on the market, know what your using.
