Although they can compromise crop development, these pests have different characteristics, requiring specific monitoring according to the species and the structure of the affected plant.<\/p>\n<p>Among caterpillars, notable examples include the soybean looper, false armyworms, Helicoverpa, fall armyworm, and podworms. Among stink bugs, species such as the brown stink bug, the green stink bug, and the small green stink bug appear. Beetles and weevils are also among the organisms that need to be monitored during the production cycle.\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"agk_14000_pos_4_conteudo_mobile\" style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"mb-4\">\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"agk_14000_pos_5_conteudo_desktop\" style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"d-none d-lg-block mb-md-4\">\n<\/div>\n<p>Other important groups include spider mites, white mites, and green mites, as well as whiteflies, leaf miners, and thrips. Identifying these pests should be accompanied by assessing the damage to leaves, stems, pods, and other plant structures.<\/p>\n<p>Luna emphasizes that frequent monitoring should consider both the population of the organisms and the stage of development of the soybean. The presence of an insect in the crop, in isolation, does not mean that an insecticide application is necessary.<\/p>\n<p>In this context, Integrated Pest Management (IPM) brings together practices of observation, identification, and evaluation of infestation levels. The control decision should consider technical criteria and the specific conditions of each crop, avoiding unnecessary interventions.\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"agk_14000_pos_5_conteudo_mobile\" style=\"text-align: center;\" class=\"mb-4\">\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h6><em>THE <strong>Bela Cereais<\/strong> works with the best grains on the market and also keeps you up to date with the latest news and analyses on agribusiness.<br \/>\nDon&#039;t forget to follow our social networks.<\/em><\/h6>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.agrolink.com.br\/noticias\/voce-sabe-identificar-as-principais-pragas-da-soja-_519786.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Access News Source <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Identifying pests is a crucial step in preventing losses and improving decision-making\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":27865,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[259],"tags":[244,248,255,249,254,250,246,247,256,245,253,252,251],"class_list":["post-28680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-soja","tag-agrolink","tag-agrotoxicos","tag-artigos-tecnicos","tag-classificados","tag-colunistas","tag-compra","tag-cotacoes","tag-defensivos","tag-eventos","tag-noticias","tag-precos-agricolas","tag-previsao-do-tempo","tag-venda"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/belacereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28680","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/belacereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/belacereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/belacereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/belacereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=28680"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/belacereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28680\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/belacereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27865"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/belacereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=28680"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/belacereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=28680"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/belacereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=28680"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
