Success StoryKentuckiana: New information on Dectes Stem Borer



Kentuckiana: New information on Dectes Stem Borer

Author: Raul Villanueva

Planning Unit: Entomology

Major Program: Grains

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

I participated in the Kentuckiana pre-recorded video conference event in December 2020. This event is multi-state meeting with participants from Kentucky and Indiana. The event had presentations recorded and at least 197 people registered for this event, however they were available on demand for a couple of months. The topic I covered was on “The Biology of the Soybean Stem Borer, its Natural Enemies, Effects on Yields and Management”. These presentations were conducted using digital technology to avoid in-person contacts due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Responses to the events were satisfactory.

Funding for these studies were obtaind from two sources. The first was from the USDA NIFA collaborating with entomologist of the North Central region (OH, MO, NB) and the second funding source was from the Kentucky soybean Board.
