Abstract

Abstract Larvin 3.2F and Pounce 3.2EC were evaluated for efficacy in controlling green stink bugs and green cloverworms in soybeans. Effects on the arthropod predators (spiders, nabids, and big-eyed bugs) also were examined in the conventionally planted soybeans being grown on the Z. L. Newsome Farm in Richmond County, VA. Soybeans were planted on a 36-inch row spacing on 26 May. Insecticides were foliar-applied on 22 Aug with a CO2-powered compressed air sprayer at 30 psi that delivered 28.7 gal of finished formulation per acre. Individual plots were 4 rows by 75 ft with 4 replications. Individual treatments were evaluated 1-, 3-, 7-, 14-, and 21-days after application by comparing the number of pests and predators per 25 sweeps (using a 15-inch diameter net) in the treated plots to those in the untreated checks. Yield estimates were obtained by harvesting 25 feet of row from the center rows in all plots.
