Abstract
Since its arrival in 2000 to North America, soybean growers have a limited number of weapons to use against the soybean aphid. Although several insecticides are labeled for use against the soybean aphid, this is just one of the many tools that pest managers can use against any insect pest. I will describe efforts to improve upon this limited arsenal with brief summaries of research to develop biological control and host plant resistance against the soybean aphid.
