Abstract
Western bean cutworm, soybean aphid, grasshoppers, cowpea aphid and soybean leafininer are minor pests in Iowa but in 2002 they did cause crop damage in scattered areas across the state. This presentation will briefly discuss the biology of these insects, their distribution in Iowa, the type and amount of injury they can cause to crops, and scouting and management strategies for next year.
