Sampling Green Cloverworm on Soybean

  • Chapter
Sampling Methods in Soybean Entomology

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Experimental Entomology ((SSEXP))

Abstract

The green cloverworm, Plathypena scabra (F.) (Lepidoptera:Noctuidae), is one of the most widespread soybean insects in North America, occurring predominantly in the eastern half of the United States (Fig. 8-1). Epiphytotics on soybean have been reported since 1919 (Stone and Pedigo 1972a) and have tended to increase in frequency since that time (Pedigo 1974).
