Being able to identify both pest and beneficial insects is an important skill for making management decisions in your soybean field. Proper identification of pest insects allows the grower to determine if pest species are an economic threat to yield, or whether soybean plants can tolerate the losses from an insect pest. Being able to distinguish beneficial insects from pest insects can also save the grower time, money and stress from worrying about an insect that may actually benefit their soybean crop.
