Soybean production in the Mid-South has increased in recent years.  There has also been an increase in bollworm infestations in soybeans observed.  Some of these infestations have not followed the pattern that has been observed historically.  Some production practices have contributed to the intensity of infestations.  Also, in many areas of the Mid-South pyrethroids no longer provide satisfactory control of bollworm infestations.
