Abstract
The soybean aphid (Aphis glycines Hemiptera: Aphididae) is the most economically important insect pest of soybean in the north central region of the United States. Using varieties with native aphid resistance genes (named Rag) can effectively suppress aphid populations and can be used as an alternative to insecticides. Although this tool is highly effective, Rag varieties are not widely used by soybean farmers, partly because of their limited availability. This project evaluated soybean varieties with and without aphid resistance genes as a means to combat soybean aphid outbreaks.
