to Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis

Introduction near Chicago?Aphids on plant material?
ARRIVE
Lack of Attention‘No-brainer crop’, ‘GM crop’Plant - RoundUp - HarvestDidn’t notice initial colonizers
Unexploited resource- secondary host (soybean) present- few economic soybean insect pests in the Midwest

THRIVE
Tremendous ability to disperse
Avg 7,000 SBA per plant
Xplant population
X 90% alatoid
Potential for 800 million winged SBAgenerated per acre in early August.
Saginaw MI, August 1st, 2001
THRIVE
SBA landing on acalm morning.
East Lansing, 2005
Jays debug the Orioles.Insects take over SkyDome -Toronto crushes Baltimore
By John McCauley bluejays.com 8/3/2001
Toronto invaded by swarms of aphids.Clouds of bugs descend ondowntown streets Aug. 3, 2001.
“At least they weren't killer bees.”
Inadequate or poorly-timedbiocontrol

THRIVE
native &non-nativepredators
can’t keep upsome years
lack ofparasitoids
THRIVEOutbreaks: 2001, 2003, 2005, some in 2007
Feeding from large #s of Aphids- sucks plant juices- specialized gut removes sugar- amino acid limited
Honey dew Sooty moldOther problems:
Impact of direct feeding (thousands of SBA per plant)
8-29-05Mervyn Erb
Early (June) infestation
Mid/late (July/Aug) infestation
Other impacts of aphid feeding- nutrients deficiencies (potassium) may increase loss

Local Impact – Yield Loss- plant height- leaf drop- # nodes per plant- # pods per node- # beans per pod- bean quality

Post-detection of SBA
Concentrated on insecticides- scouting techniques- thresholds- improve application technology
Introduction of soybean rust:“the best thing that ever happened to soybean aphid”- increased focus on scouting, spray technology
