\h 1 'General Information About Major Pests'
                           INSECT CONTROL IN SOYBEANS


                     General Information About Major Pests

Several insect pest species attack soybeans and produce damage which may
reduce yield or grade.  Some of these pests feed on foliage, while others
attack the pods.

Soybeans can often tolerate considerable foliage loss without suffering
economic yield loss.  The most critical time in plant growth is the post-bloom
pod-filling period and protection of the crop during this time is most
important to insure greatest net return.

The grower must know the identity of insects present in the field and must be
able to determine if insect numbers are approaching economically damaging
levels.  It is very important for each grower to scout his fields or to have
them scouted by a competent specialist and to apply insect control measures
only when economic damage is probable.  The insect pest species present must
be known before the proper control program can be chosen.

The major foliage feeders affecting soybeans are loopers and velvetbean
caterpillars.  Other foliage feeders include bean leaf beetles, beet
armyworms, fall armyworms, corn earworms, Mexican bean beetles, mites, green
cloverworms, grasshoppers, cabbage loopers and certain other armyworm species.

The major pod feeders affecting soybeans are corn earworms and stink bugs and
occasionally bean leaf beetles and fall armyworms.

Stem feeders include soybean stem borers, three-cornered alfalfa hoppers;
while the major root feeders are lesser cornstalk borers and bean leaf beetle
larvae.
\h 1 'Beneficial Insects and Insect Diseases'



                     Beneficial Insects and Insect Diseases

There is a complex system of animal life present in the soybean field.
Numerous insects are parasites and/or predators of the common soybean pests.
Every effort should be made to help conserve the beneficial species present.
Since spray applications also eliminate the beneficial species, it is
important to be sure it is necessary to spray a field.  Once the beneficial
species are eliminated it is often necessary to apply additional treatments
that would otherwise be unnecessary.

\bAt certain times insect diseases play an important part in controlling some of
the worms associated with soybeans.  The fungus Nomuraea rileyi is commonly
destructive to caterpillars during September and October.  The diseased worms
appear with a white or green colored mold-like growth appearing over their
bodies.  The presence of diseased caterpillars usually signifies an end to
worm infestations for the season; however, this is not a steadfast rule.  If
possible, hold treatments a few days to determine if the disease is spreading.
\h 1 'Scouting - Necessary Equipment'



                         Scouting - Necessary Equipment

In order to properly manage soybean insects, fields need to be scouted to
determine presence of damaging population levels.  The grower should contact
their local County Agricultural Extension Agent for available scouting
programs.

Research has shown that one of the better ways to scout soybeans is the
shake-cloth-beat method.

Equipment necessary to do this job includes a shake cloth, paper and pencil.
The shake cloth should be a white or off-white duck or muslin material
measuring 45" by 48".  Sew a 1/2" to 2/3" hem on each 45" side.  Use this hem
to insert a dowel or similar material to be used as handles on which the cloth
can be rolled or unrolled for easy handling and row width adjustment.

Enter the field and select the first sample site at random.  Standing between
the rows, carefully place the shake cloth and unroll it so that you cover the
ground between the rows.  While kneeling down at the edge of the cloth extend
your arm on the outside of one of the rows and bend this "armful" of plant
over the cloth (this should normally be an average of 18").

Shake or beat the bean foliage vigorously.  Repeat this on the other row.
Count the caterpillars and stink bugs on the cloth.  Some insect larvae move
rapidly so quickness is important.  Record your counts.  You now have sampled
3 feet of row.  Proceed to scout additional sites until you have at least 5
samples for each 10 acres or until you feel your samples are representative of
the particular field being scouted.  In most average fields, 10 separate
samples composed of 3 feet of row should be sufficient.

When sampling the insects also observe the percent leaf loss that has been
done by separating the plants to allow observation of just one plant.
Estimate the percent of leaf damage and record this with your counts.
\h 1 'Scouting - Knowing Caterpillar Characteristics'


                 Scouting - Knowing Caterpillar Characteristics

All of the caterpillars found in soybeans have specific characteristics which
enable identification of one from another.  Proleg characteristics are
especially useful, but remember - small worms (less than 1/2 inch long) may
not show the number of abdominal prolegs that larger worms of the species
have.  Use of a magnifying glass or hand lens is encouraged when examining
small worms.

\bThe velvetbean caterpillar (Anticarsia gemmatalis) has 4 abdominal prolegs,
and is very active when disturbed.  These small caterpillars "loop" when they
walk and are often mistaken for soybean loopers.

The corn earworm (Heliothis zea) has 4 abdominal prolegs.  It rolls up into a
ball when disturbed.

The green cloverworm (Plathypena scabra) has 3 abdominal prolegs, and drops
when it is disturbed.

The soybean looper (Pseudoplusia includens) has 2 abdominal prolegs and walks
with a "looping" motion.
\h 1 'Scouting - How to Know When to Treat'



                 Scouting Soybeans - How to Know When to Treat

Foliage Feeders:

Prior to full bloom soybeans can tolerate certain levels of defoliation
without adverse effects on yield.

Current research indicates that treatment prior to full bloom should be made
when caterpillar counts show 10 caterpillars 1/2" or longer per foot of row
(30 per shake).

After full bloom when pods are filling, leaf loss is more critical.
Post-bloom treatments should be made when counts show 4 caterpillars 1/2" or
longer per foot of row (12 per shake).

Make counts every 5 to 7 days.  Strong emphasis in determining thresholds
should lie with worm counts.  However care should be taken that defoliation
should not be permitted to exceed 33% at any stage of growth.


Pod Feeders:

Major pod feeders on soybeans are corn earworm (podworm) and stink bugs.  Pod
feeding caterpillars usually do not require treatment prior to bloom; however,
corn earworm infestations are closely aligned seasonly to blooming.

If field inspections show leaf feeding by corn earworms immediately preceding
bloom, treatment may be necessary to prevent later pod injury.

During pod set and pod fill, treatment should be made if counts show one corn
earworm per one foot of row (3 per shake).

Small corn earworms are hard to see so observe shakes carefully.


\bThree-cornered Alfalfa Hopper:

The major damage by this pest occurs from seedling emergence until the plant
is approximately 12" tall.  Usually after the plants have exceeded 12" in
height, they become tough enough so that damage is minimal.

When 15% of the plants inspected show damage on the stem and at the same time
an active population of nymphs (wingless forms) are present, chemical
treatment should be considered.


Stinkbugs:

Stink bugs (1/4 inch or larger) should be controlled when they average one per
3 feet of row (one per shake) before mid pod fill.

After mid pod fill research indicates that spray programs should not be
started until stink bugs  average one per row foot.

If beans are to be used for seed, one stink bug per 6 feet of row justifies
treatment.

Stink bug infestations are often spotty, consequently more thorough scouting
is necessary to determine infestation levels.  They are usually more common
near field borders and on the wooded sides of the field.  Scout these areas
carefully.  Treatment of an entire field for stink bugs may not be necessary.
\h 1 'Description of Insect Pests'
\h 2 'Loopers'



                          Description of Insect Pests


Loopers:

Loopers are green in color and can have white stripes and dark spots on their
bodies.  They can be easily separated from other caterpillars attacking
soybeans by the fact that they only have two pairs of fleshy prolegs on their
abdomen.  Most of the other caterpillars associated with soybeans have three
or four pairs of prolegs.

These caterpillars move in the characteristic looping or measuring fashion.
The adult moths deposit their eggs on leaves or other tender plant parts at
night.

After hatching, the loopers feed on foliage and produce a ragged appearance.
Soybean looper feeding is similar to velvetbean caterpillar in the amount of
leaf area eaten per caterpillar stage.  Soybean loopers seem to prefer mature
leaves and often appear during the late growth stages of the plant.

Soybeans can withstand considerable damage of this type through blooming
without reducing the yield.  A fungus disease often holds loopers in check
late in the season.  Watch for mold encrusted dead caterpillar bodies.
\b\v
\h 2 'Velvetbean Caterpillars'
\v
\v
\v
Velvetbean Caterpillars:

The velvetbean caterpillar is the most damaging foliage feeder to soybeans in
Florida.

Caterpillar coloration is variable although green is most common.  Dark brown
and black forms can also be found but usually in late season.  There are
usually distinct yellow and white stripes running the length of the body and
the head is yellow.

These caterpillars are very active and will spring from plants and wiggle
rapidly when disturbed.  Individuals less than one-half inch long "loop" when
they crawl and are often mis-identified as soybean loopers.

The caterpillars are less than one-half inch long (first 3 stages) and eat
very little leaf area (less than one-third of a leaflet).  Worms over one-half
inch long (fourth, fifth, and sixth stages) inflict the major portion of
damage since they can eat three and one-half average soybean leaflets.

The first three stages develop in about four days in August.  The fourth,
fifth and sixth stages take about ten days.  This development time shows why
you can wait two or three days to control worms after small worms are found in
the field.  Caterpillars do not eat the plant overnight but require several
days to develop.

The most important periods to watch for velvetbean caterpillar damage are
August and September.  This is the time when major damage to soybeans occurs
and when control measures are justified.
\h 2 'Bean Leaf Beetles'



Bean Leaf Beetles:

Bean leaf beetles may frequently infest soybean fields, particularly in the
panhandle section of the state.

The adult beetles vary in color but are typically reddish-bronze or yellowish
in color and are about 1/5 to 1/4 inch long.  The beetles have three or four
black spots in a row along the edge of the wing covers (upper back of the
body).

The beetles generally are found on the underside of the leaves where they eat
rounded holes and usually drop from the plant when disturbed.  Eggs are laid
in the soil at the bases of the plant and the slender white larvae feed on the
base of the stem or roots.
\b\v
\h 2 'Beet Armyworms'
\v
\v
\v
Beet Armyworms:

The beet armyworm belongs to the armyworm group.  It is usually light to dark
green in color and often has a dark stripe running down each side of its body
and which is bordered with small white stripes.  The most striking
characteristic useful in field identifications is that it has a pronounced
black circular spot located on the side of its body just above the second pair
of true legs.  The true legs are located on the front part of the
caterpillar's body just behind the head.

The beet armyworm can be a dangerous defoliator if populations are allowed to
build into high numbers.  They are particularly difficult to control when they
become large (over 3/4 inch in length).  Only certain insecticides will
control the beet armyworm and it is important to properly identify them and to
determine their numbers if they become a problem.
\h 2 'Fall Armyworms'



Fall Armyworms:

Fall and other armyworms can cause severe defoliation during the late summer
or to very small plants earlier in the season even though soybeans are not
their major food source.

The stripes and coloration of these worms are highly variable; however, they
can generally be identified by a white inverted "Y" mark on the front of the
head.

The adult moth lays eggs in a fuzzy cluster.

Caution should be taken not to mistake the earworm for the fall armyworm.
These two insects look alike to a large extent.  If there is doubt, they
should be properly identified by an entomologist.
\h 2 'Corn Earworms'



Corn Earworms:

The corn earworm is a general feeder found on crops such as corn, cotton,
peanuts, tobacco and tomatoes, and it can develop into large populations in
soybeans at any time, but most frequently during bloom and early pod fill.

These worms can vary in color from light green or pink to nearly black, but
are generally lighter on their undersurface and have alternating light and
dark stripes along the length of their bodies.  They have dark spines and
small dark spots on their body which are lacking on the other caterpillar
pests.  When disturbed, they curl their bodies tightly.

The corn earworm can cause severe damage to small seed pods before it is
recognized.  The small caterpillars are easier to control than the larger ones
so it is important to check the fields carefully.   The corn earworm will also
feed on foliage.
\b\v
\h 2 'Lesser Cornstalk Borers'
\v
\v
\v
Lesser Cornstalk Borers:

The lesser cornstalk borer is small and slender with alternating aqua-blue and
purplish-brown bands on each segment.

It lives in a silken tube just below the soil surface and it bores into and
tunnels up the stalk.  When not feeding it stays in the silken tube.

It can be a problem during the dry seasons when the plants are small. Plants
suffering from lesser cornstalk borer injury often appear wilted.

If disturbed the lesser cornstalk borer may wiggle in a violent manner.

Damage can be reduced significantly by keeping land free of grass and weeds
for several weeks prior to planting.  There is now available an insecticide
(chlorpyrifos-Lorsban) that offers good control.  (See section on Insecticide
Recommendations.)  Also another suggested chemical control is 14 lbs. of 14%
diazinon granules or 20 lbs. of 10% parathion granules applied in a 6 - 8 inch
band over the row when the plants are 1/2 to 1 inch tall.
\h 2 'Mexican Bean Beetles'



Mexican Bean Beetles:

The mexican bean beetle was once one of the more common soybean pests even
though Florida seems to be at its southern range.  The oblong, yellow eggs are
deposited on the underside of the leaves by the adult females.  The eggs hatch
into bright yellow larvae which have their back covered with many spines.

After growth is complete, the larva cements itself to the underside of a leaf
and goes into a resting or pupal stage.  The adult emerges as a coppery-brown
beetle with 16 black spots on its back.

Both the larvae and adults feed on the undersurface of the leaves leaving the
upper leaf surface intact.  When the top surface dries out, it leaves a void
between the veins and gives a skeletonized appearance.  When the infestation
is heavy, the pods and stems can also be attacked.
\h 2 'Spider Mites'



Spider Mites:

Spider mites may occaisionally attack soybeans.  Mites are not insects, but
are closely related to spiders.  They damage soybeans by rupturing the cells
of the leaf and then sucking up the fluids.

Spider mites are difficult to see with the unaided eye since they are only
about 1/60 to 1/50 of an inch long.

They generally begin their attack along the edges of the field or around
trees, barns, fences, or some tall object in close to the field.  The mites
generally feed on the underside of the leaves near the midribs.  Infested
plants take on a "dusty" look and will appear yellowish or off-color.

Mites seem to attack more frequently in hot and dry weather.
\b\v
\h 2 'Stinkbugs'
\v
\v
\v
Stinkbugs:

Stink bugs are shield-shaped green or brown insects, so named because of the
odor they produce.  The southern green stink bug is generally more predominant
and widespread than the brown.

These insects hatch from clusters of barrel-shaped eggs into nymphs, which
closely resemble adults.  After a series of gradual changes, they become
mature adults.

Both the nymphs and adults have piercing-sucking mouthparts and injury is done
by puncturing the pods and sucking fluid from the developing beans.  This
feeding causes stained spots to appear on the beans which may lower the grade
and reduce seedling vigor.  Reductions in yield and quality can occur as a
result of stink bug feeding.

Studies have shown that wild host plants such as wild dogwood, elder,
peppervine, sumac, wild grape and black locust are associated with the first
generation stink bugs.

Stink bugs usually appear in the soybean field during September when pods are
maturing.  Do not spray an entire soybean field based on stink bug populations
along field borders since the pest populations can be exceptionally high due
to the close proximity of the soybeans to their wild host plants.

When stink bugs are found in sufficient number on borders and not in the
interior of the field, spot spraying is advised.  This will often result in
adequate control and reduced costs.
\h 2 'Three-Cornered Alfalfa Hoppers'



Three-Cornered Alfalfa Hoppers:

The three-cornered alfalfa hopper is related to the leafhopper.  It is green
in color, approximately 1/4 inch in length and stands about 1/4 inch high
being wedge-shaped and broad-shouldered.  It has rather prominent protruding
eyes located low on its head.

It pierces the tissues, sucks out plant juices and causes the stem to scab and
take on a girdled appearance which completely encircles it.  The insect feeds
deep in the foliage canopy.  The nymphs are similar in appearance to the
adults but are wingless and have spiny bodies.

* Carbofuran (Furadan) is a chemical which can travel (seep or leach) through
soil and can contaminate ground water which may be used as drinking water.
Carbofuran has been found in ground water as a result of agricultural use.
Users are advised not to apply carbofuran where the water table (ground water)
is close to the surface and where the soils are very permeable, i.e.,
well-drained soils such as loamy sands.  Your local agricultural agencies can
provide further information on the type of soil in your area and the location
of ground water.

* Carbofuran (Furadan) is a chemical which can travel (seep or leach) through
soil and can contaminate ground water which may be used as drinking water.
Carbofuran has been found in ground water as a result of agricultural use.
Users are advised not to apply carbofuran where the water table (ground water)
is close to the surface and where the soils are very permeable, i.e.,
well-drained soils such as loamy sands.  Your local agricultural agencies can
provide further information on the type of soil in your area and the location
of ground water.
**Do not apply combinations of Sevin and 2.4-DB (Butoxone, Butyrac) herbicides
to soybeans.
