- Observation Soybean looper performance was highest on plants without B.
- Observation Mexican bean beetle performance was highest on plants without B.
- Observation Velvetbean caterpillar performance was highest on plants without B.
- Association Velvetbean caterpillar larval weight gain peaked at B:Zn:Fe 0:20:80 with linear response.
- Association Soybean looper pupal weight showed predominantly quadratic response determined mainly by B:Fe ratio.
- Association Soybean looper developmental time showed predominantly quadratic response to B:Fe ratio.
- Association Mexican bean beetle adult weight showed a cubic response with interactions among all three minerals.
- Association Mexican bean beetle developmental time showed a cubic response with interactions among all three minerals.
- Association Soybean shoot growth was described by a reduced cubic model with adjusted r2 0.83.
- Observation Soybeans grew best at intermediate mineral proportions.
- Observation Herbivores performed relatively poorly on soybean plants grown at intermediate proportions.
- Association Zn effects on plant growth and herbivore development depended on the ratio of B and Fe.
