Soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) row spacing in the US varies from about 7 to 40 inches, but there has been a widespread shift from wide (≈30 inches) to narrow (≈15 inches) row spacing in the last decades, largely driven by a consensus that narrow rows can yield higher. In ...

Soybeans have the greatest nitrogen (N) requirement per bushel among row crops, but biological N-fixation can provide 40-70% of the total soybean N requirement. This fact sheet goes over the importance of biological N fixation, factors that can compromise nodulation, and what to do if nodulation is unsuccessful.

The introduction of novel generalist predators to new ecosystems can dramatically alter species interactions and established food webs. Invasive predators may contribute to pest control services; however, a net loss of biodiversity can occur if invasives displace natives through intraguild predation or resource competition. Joro spiders (Trichonephila clavata) are an ...

Arachnophobia is a widespread phenomenon, despite the fact that the vast majority of spiders pose no meaningful threat to people. The introduction and spread of an invasive spider (Trichonephila clavata L. Koch, 1878) to the United States has prompted questions about whether it should be considered dangerous. These questions are ...

Historically, spider management has received relatively little attention in the literature compared to insect pests, and few studies have examined the efficacy of chemical management strategies on orb weaver mortality and web site fidelity. However, the introduction and rapid spread of the Joro spider, Trichonephila clavata (L. Koch, 1878; Araneae: Araneidae), ...
