Soybean Scouting Report: 7/13-7/17/2015

Week 4 Scouting Report

Graduate Student Nick Bateman is running a weekly insect scout line in soybeans for part of his PhD project. We will be reporting his numbers weekly on the blog. Only insect pest that are being found in any significance will be reported. This should be used as a general measure of what insect pests are showing up around the state. If a particular pest is not present, it means it was not found in any fields or is in very low numbers the week of sample.

Comments:

*Stink bugs consisted of Brown, Green, and Southern Green stink bugs, with Green and Southern Green Stink bugs making up 75% of the total stink bugs caught. Loopers are starting to show up in R3 and later soybean in all counties listed but are in low numbers. We also were flushing numerous corn earworm moths in several fields in the Delta region.
