Corn Phenology Influences Diabrotica Virgifera Virgifera Emigration And Visitation To Soybean In, Matthew E. O'Neal, D. A. Landis, J. R. Miller
Matthew E. O'Neal
We used two types of laboratory apparatus to test whether rotation-resistant and wild-type Diabrotica virgifera virgifera LeConte (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) responded differently to corn phenology. Beetles from Nebraska where injury to rotated corn has not been reported were defined as wild type, and beetles from Illinois where injury to rotated corn is common represented “rotation-resistant“ populations. A two-chamber emigration arena assayed propensity of both populations to leave corn during and after anthesis. A side-arm olfactometer tested whether the relative attraction of beetles to soybean versus corn was influenced by corn phenology. Beetle origin did not influence departure from corn of varying …

Nf04-599 Soybean Aphid Management In Nebraska, Thomas E. Hunt
University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
The soybean aphid (Aphis glycines) is Nebraska's newest soybean insect pests, arriving in the United States in 2000 and in Nebraska in 2002. Yield losses of over 20 percent have been documented in some northeast Nebraska fields.
This NebFact covers the description, initial observations, life cycle and injury, and management of the soybean aphid in Nebraska.
