Soybean aphid remains a significant pest of soybean, especially in Minnesota and parts of
neighboring states. For about two decades, this pest has been managed primarily with
insecticides. Multistate research was used to develop guidance for scouting and decision
making for insecticide applications against soybean aphid. However, the continued reliance
on insecticides for management of this pest has resulted in the development of insecticide
resistance in soybean aphid and concerns about environmental contamination from these
insecticides.
