SOYBEAN APHID - Surveys for aphids in the southwest and west-central counties were negative as of May 30. The initial colonization of Wisconsin soybeans can be anticipated by mid-June.

BEAN LEAF BEETLE - Soybean fields in La Crosse, Monroe, Richland and Vernon counties are showing 2-10% of plants with minor defoliation caused by this insect. Damage is currently limited to a few holes in the leaves, but injury could become more severe next week as additional beetles migrate to emerging soybeans.
