Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation Wireworms were frequently observed at the experimental sites.
- Observation White grubs were frequently observed at the experimental sites.
- Observation Pest thresholds were rarely met and injury rarely caused yield loss.
- Intervention effect Eight percent of corn sites had a positive yield response to NST.
- Intervention effect Six percent of soybean sites had a positive yield response to NST.
- Intervention effect Across corn sites, the yield response to NST was 0.1 Mg ha-1.
- Intervention effect Across soybean sites, the yield response to NST was -0.05 Mg ha-1.
- Observation NST costs were recovered at 48% of corn sites.
- Observation NST costs were recovered at 23% of soybean sites.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that widespread insecticide seed treatment in soybean is unlikely to benefit producers.
