SOYBEAN INSECT CONTROL RECOMMENDATIONS
Read and Follow ALL Label Rate, Application, and Use Directions
This publication is intended to aid pest managers in treating pest infestations in soybean during the growing season and in situations where replanting is needed. Consequently, many current preventative pest management decisions that are made pre-planting (e.g., seed-applied insecticides) are not included in this list.

Treatment Guideline - Prebloom: when greater than 40% defoliation. Blooming to pod fill: when greater than 15% defoliation. Full pod to maturity; when greater than 25% defoliation. Pod feeding: when approximately 5% or more of the marketable pods are dam- aged, and there are 10 or more beetles per foot of row. |

Pod feeding: when approximately 10% of the pods are damaged, pods are green, and grasshoppers are ac- tively feeding. USUALLY ONLY BORDER ROWS REQUIRE TREATMENT |

Treatment Guideline - Average of 250, or more, aphids per plant from beginning bloom to full pod. If aphids are increasing well beyond 250 per plant during seed fill and plants are under moisture stress with few predators or diseased aphids present, then controls should be considered at this later growth stage. |

Treatment Guideline - If leaf discoloration is apparent, mites are positively identified, and hot, dry conditions are ex- pected to persist, a control may be considered. If caught early, border treatments may be an option because infestations often begin in the field margins |
