Resource Description
The study evaluated three insecticides (pyrethrins, insecticidal soap, and narrow-range mineral oil) for their efficacy against soybean aphids. While pyrethrins and mineral oil caused high mortality in aphids, insecticidal soap was effective mainly against nymphs. These insecticides may be useful in organic soybean aphid management.
