Soybeans
Volume 58 Number 4 Date 05/23/2013 BEAN LEAF BEETLE - The first beetles were collected from Richland County alfalfa on May 15. This insect is inconsequential to alfalfa, but its presence and abundance can be an indicator of soybean defoliation potential. Early-planted soybeans are highly attractive to overwintered beetles and should be checked for feeding injury beginning at emergence. -- Krista Hamilton, DATCP Entomologist
