Soybean research
Author: Colby Guffey
Planning Unit: Clinton County CES
Major Program: Plant Production and Management
Plan of Work: Strengthening Farms, Food and Families
Outcome: Initial Outcome
Soybean producers have struggled for the past 3-5 years with slug damage to early planted soybeans. In some instances, soybean fields have been replanted three times before an adequate stand was achieved.
In response to a field that was being damaged by slugs an on-farm research trial was set up with UK Extension Entomologists from the Princeton Research Station. Replicated plots were used to determine the effectiveness of various molluscicides or insecticides on a local cooperating producer farm.
Soybean producers will have on-farm data available to make decisions on whether it is cost effective to apply molluscicides to early planted soybean fields.
