Sampling Soybean Looper on Soybean

  • Chapter
Sampling Methods in Soybean Entomology

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

Abstract

The soybean looper, Pseudoplusia includens (Walker) (Lepidoptera:Noctuidae), is the most abundant of the plusiine caterpillars attacking soybean over much of North and South America and all of Central America. It is limited in its distribution to the western hemisphere. While it ranges throughout much of the United States from New York to California (Fig. 7-1), economic infestations of this pest on soybean seldom occur north of Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and South Carolina.
