Abstract

Survey-based soybean insect losses provide a glimpse of current soybean management practices and allow the detection of evolving trends. This survey was initiated in Mississippi in 2004, Tennessee in 2008, and Arkansas in 2009. The 2010 survey shows stink bugs and corn earworm caused similar amounts of damage in the region. Combined, these two insects caused more than half of all insect losses in 2010. Insect scouting and the adoption of seed treatments were at similar levels compared to 2009.
