Article Synopsis
- The kudzu bug, first found in the U.S. in 2009, is now a major pest for soybean crops, particularly in the southeast, but management strategies are still being developed.
- Researchers conducted field trials from 2011 to 2013 in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina to determine effective insecticide application thresholds for controlling the bug's populations.
- Findings revealed that a single insecticide application targeting nymphs at certain growth stages can prevent yield loss, often proving to be more cost-effective than multiple applications.
