| Abstract | The soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura, is a newly introduced pest from Asia that was first discovered in the north central region of United States in 2000. In Asia A. glycines feeding causes significant direct damage, reducing seed yields by up to 28% (Wang et al., 1996). Soybean aphids can also indirectly reduce soybean yield by excreting honeydew, which promotes the growth of sooty molds, and by vectoring plant viruses (Van den Berg et al., 1997). In previous studies, generalist predators have been shown to play an important role in suppressing A. glycines populations in soybean fields in China (Han, 1997) and southeast Asia (Van den Berg et al., 1997). However, little is known about their potential to affect soybean aphid populations in the United States. |
