Considerations for Bean Leaf Beetle Feeding in Late-Maturing Soybean

The following video addresses bean leaf beetle identification, biology, and
late-season damage to soybean while keeping the marketable portion of the
crop foremost in mind. Shown are simple ways to sample for their
presence/abundance, an often forgotten step when eyes are concentrating on
damage. Too, some very important control considerations for next year are
presented.
