Summary: In recent weeks, soybean aphids have suddenly emerged as a major concern for growers throughout the Midwest. Densities of several thousand aphids per plant have been reported in many fields across the area.

Researchers from the National Soybean Research Laboratory at the University of Illinois, however, have recently discovered three soybean lines with strong resistance to the aphids which could eventually be incorporated into new commercial varieties.
