Bean Leaf Beetle-Phomopsis Management Trials on Soybean

Authors: Jose Pablo Soto-arias (Iowa State University) , Gary P. Munkvold (Iowa State University)

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of insecticide and fungicide applications on bean leaf beetle populations and Phomopsis (pod and stem blight) infection. There is some evidence that bean leaf beetle activity may directly affect Phomopsis colonization of soybean pods and stems.
