 The beetles are back. Japanese beetles being seen out in soybean fields. Entomologist Nick Sider says that while we want to keep the populations from getting out of hand, there's really not a reason to panic. He says the damage these insects do, generally speaking, is minimal, and there isn't usually a reason to put on another application of insecticide, particularly given the frequency of the rainfall this growing season. But he says check with your crop advisor to make sure you're far away from some high-risk milestones. Number one.
