Flex, fling and lubricate, but really we talk about rootworms

In todays episode, Erin shares her experience seeing RNAi-based techonology for rootworm management in action. She was not impressed. Erin describes her rootworm trapping network as the adult rootworms start to emerge. If you would like to participate, contact Erin's colleague, Ashley Dean at adean@iastate.edu.

We talk about other insects including soybean gall midge, leafhoppers, flea beetles, and eventually soybean aphids.
