Protect soybean plants from sucking, chewing pests with two modes of action
When pests feed on soybean plants, they potentially pose a great threat to a farmer’s yield. And, according to Ohio State University Entomologist Ron Hammond, the condition of a soybean plant is extremely important and directly affects profits.
“Most insects are leaf feeders,” Hammond said. “They cause a problem for growers because they destroy a portion of the plant that is necessary for plant growth.”
Leaf-feeding insects also affect seed quality, which can become an issue when soybeans are grown for the food grade market or used as seed for the following year, he explained.
To prevent sucking and chewing pests from robbing yield potential, growers can use Leverage® 2.7 insecticide. Leverage 2.7 offers surface and translaminar protection while safeguarding the underside of soybean leaves from aphids.
Leverage 2.7 delivers protection against pests, including soybean aphids, bean leaf beetles, Japanese beetles and adult corn rootworm.
