Estimates of soybean insect losses were recorded to provide documentation of insect pressure and management practices for 2018. Corn earworm was the most damaging insect pest followed by stink bugs. The third, fourth, and fifth most damaging insect pests were bean leaf beetle, the armyworm complex, and soybean looper, respectively. Damage from all insect pests in Arkansas resulted in an estimated $218 million in losses plus cost in 2018. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
