Pod-sucking bugs
Bugs that suck the seeds inside soybean pods, leaving them shrivelled.
Attacks
When it comes
| Crop | Stage | Check |
|---|---|---|
| Soybean | Grain fill | Scout every 2–3 days |
What to look for
Soybean, grain fill
Every 2–3 days, walk the field early in the morning when the bugs are awake. Flat green or grey shield-shaped bugs on the pods = pod-sucking bugs. Even a few of them ruin grain. If you see them, treat right away.
Also watch for
General advice from crop guides for Ghana. Before you spray, ask your agro-input dealer for a product registered for this pest, read the label, and wear gloves. For a serious attack, call your district agriculture office or an agronomist.
