Co-application of an insect growth regulator insecticide and fungicide in soybean at the R3 to R4 growth stage is not uncommon in Mississippi. There are a few different insect growth regulators on the market which include diflubenzuron, novaluron, and methoxyfenozide. Diflubenzuron and novaluron inhibit chitin formation, while methoxyfenozide acts on the molting process of immature growth stages. The impact of these insect growth regulator applications on pest and beneficial insects and the economic benefits to soybean production have not been thoroughly investigated. The objective of this study is to show the impact of selected insect growth regulators on insect pest infestations and soybean yield.
