  1. Soybean Aphids in Iowa – Past and Present Marlin E. Rice Extension Entomologist Iowa State University

  2. Acknowledgment • Extension Field Specialists-Crops • Brian Lang, Decorah (northeast Iowa) • Todd Vagts, Carroll (west central Iowa)

  3. Soybean Aphids in 2000(year 1, confirmed counties)

  4. Soybean Aphids in 2001(year 2, movement west, sprayed fields) 145,000 acres sprayed aphids move into western Iowa

  5. Soybean Aphids in 2002(year 3, few aphids, few sprayed fields) research plots

  6. July 14 Soybean aphids: an early warning in 2003 • Aphids in NE Iowa • June 16 = 10/plant • June 22 = 100/plant • June 30 = 315/plant • July 6 = 640/plant

  7. Treated Untreated Treated Untreated 1 mile rows with same variety planted straight through Northwest IA, August, 2003 Warrior, 15 bushels Courtesy: Jeff Ashland, Great Lakes Co-op

  8. Hancock County, IA, August 14, 2003 1 pt. Lorsban, 18 bushels

  9. Soybean Aphids in 2003(year 4, outbreak, Iowa pilots spray 734K ac.)

  10. Each day delay = 0.5 bushel

  11. Each day delay = 0.6 bushel

  13. Soybean & Corn Yields 2003Iowa Ag Statistics, Annual Crop Summary • Soybean • 32 bushels/acre • Down 16 bushels/acre from 2002 • Reduction of 32 percent • Lowest yields since 1993 flood • Corn • 157 bushels/acre • Down 8 bushels/acre from 2002 • Reduction of 4 percent • Second highest average yield

  14. Summary • Economic damage 2 out of 4 years • Yield losses greatest in late July & early August in 2003 • “drought” may enhance aphid survival & yield impacts • 2001 NE Iowa • 2002 SW Iowa • 2003 northern 2/3 Iowa • Scouting is critical in 2004

  23. Insecticides & Seed Treatments on Soybean Aphid Brian Lang, ISU Extension, Decorah, IA 2003 Aphids per plant R1 R3 R5

  24. Summary • Several liquid insecticides provide good control of soybean aphids • Seed treatments offer promise of early-season suppression of soybean aphids
