Summary

This presentation will help consultants, growers, and other practitioners in the North-Central region learn more about host plant resistance for soybean aphid. It complements the other two webcasts in the series that review biological control and seed treatments to manage soybean aphid. Specifically in this webcast, research-based information is presented on the benefits of using host plant resistance to reduce aphid numbers but also protect soybean yield.​
