Aphid Advisor is a pilot decision-making tool to help determine whether a control action is warranted for Soybean Aphids (Aphis glycines) on soybeans. This app uses aphid and natural enemy numbers, as well as expected population growth rates, to indicate whether there are enough natural enemies to keep aphid populations below action thresholds or if an insecticide application may be needed.
Key Features:
- An additional source of information to use in deciding whether or not to apply an insecticide to control soybean aphids
- Accounts for impact that predators and parasitic wasps can have on soybean aphid populations
- Helps reduce unnecessary pesticide applications
- Based on scientific research
