Selected literature of soybean entomology

The necessity for efficient insect pest-management programs for soybeans is apparent to offset protein and energy loss due to arthropod pests, and for environmental protection. Added competency in the basic and applied research areas of soybean entomology is needed to develop ecologically sound control programs. The availability of soybean research literature to all interested researchers is extremely important. Twenty-three papers appear in this publication, drawn from the areas of arthropod surveys and pest management, the bionomics of major species, the effects of arthropod feeding and plant resistance, and insecticide residues. This compilation represents some of the key papers on soybean arthropods and related subjects to provide a wide introduction to the literature of the expanding area of soybean entomology.
