Field Crop Insects - Joanne Whalen, Extension IPM Specialist. Mite populations have exploded this last week with the hot dry weather that we have experienced. Damage is first noticed at the base of the leaves appearing as white stippling on the top surface of the leaves. Dimethoate, Lorsban, Penncap and Parathion will provide control. Although dimethoate is the only systemic insecticide available for mite control in soybeans, it should be applied before populations explode and is generally less effective on drought stressed beans.
