Click Here to view the Webinar. We need your input on a pest survey! Dr. Doug Golick from the University of Nebraska is conducting a survey on the opinion of soybean producers on emerging pests. As a subscriber of the soybean gall midge alert network website, I would like to inform you that a link to this survey is available for you to provide your opinions on emerging soybean pests in Nebraska. Participation in this survey will take about 15 minutes to complete. If you are interested in participating in this study, follow the link to the survey here: Emerging Soybean Pests - University of Nebraska-Lincoln https://unlcorexmuw.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8vx8UUVok56Ijoq There are no known risks involved in this research.

Color coding indicates the first year infestation was documented in the county, and is not a reflection of the intensity of infestation or injury from SGM. Counties with white stripes in NE and MN are areas where SGM was only on sweet clover. 2025: 5 counties in Iowa. 3 counties in Minnesota. Dashed lines indicate that larvae have only been found on sweet clover. https://soybeangallmidge.org/contacts daily 0.75 2026-02-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da2457001106247e5fb9ff2/1599393933550-OOHAC7JYWHLQB4J5EJS3/McMechan%2BPhoto.jpg Contacts - Justin McMechan - Crop Protection and Cropping Systems Specialist 105B Entomology Hall, Lincoln, NE 68583-0816 402-472-2312 Email: justin.mcmechan@unl.edu Twitter: @justinmcmechan https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da2457001106247e5fb9ff2/1599393849383-YSKRTOLUTI2A45QVFLE3/Erin+Hodgson.jpg Contacts - Erin Hodgson - Extension Entomologist 2005 ATRB, 2213 Pammel Dr., Ames IA 50011 Email: ewh@iastate.edu | Phone: 515-294-2847 Twitter: @erinwhodgson https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da2457001106247e5fb9ff2/1599395273322-Z63WOETRFXI3GYODJ8W4/Robert+Koch.jpg Contacts - Robert Koch - Extension Entomologist 530B Hodson Hall, 1980 Folwell Ave., St. Paul, MN 55108 Email: koch0125@umn.edu https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5da2457001106247e5fb9ff2/1599417263877-91JFX3IUNWPD00U0TEOK/Adam%2BVarenhorst.jpg Contacts - Adam Varenhorst - Extension Field Crop Entomologist 308 Berg Agricultural Hall, Brookings, SD Email: Adam.Varenhorst@sdstate.edu | Phone: 605-688-6854 Twitter: @SDSUExt_Insects https://soybeangallmidge.org/sign-up-for-network-updates daily 0.75 2023-02-20 https://soybeangallmidge.org/notifications daily 0.75 2026-02-04 https://soybeangallmidge.org/soybean-gall-midge-series-videos daily 0.75 2026-04-27
