Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation The tested organic insecticides were used satisfactorily on soybeans.
- Intervention effect Higher insecticide rates may cause soybean foliage injury and reduce yield.
- Observation Injurious insect populations remained at sub-economic levels in each study year.
- Association Injurious insects were not an important factor affecting soybean growth or yield.
- Intervention effect The tested insecticides had little or no effect on seed size, protein and oil content, and oil iodine number.
- Recommendation The authors advise applying soybean foliage insecticides at recommended dosages.
