Growers favor parasite
NEWARK, Del. - To find out
how Delaware soybean farmers
feel about using the beneficial
insect Pediobius foveolatus to
control Mexican bean beetles, this
fall University of Delaware ex
tension entomologists conducted a
telephone survey of growers who
have been participating in the
state’s four-year-old pilot MBB
parasite release program. En
tomology technician Richard
Palecki made the calls.
Altogether he reached 1,8
cooperators representing 35 of the
50 sites were parasites were
released last summer. None of
these farmers had to spray for
MBB, although two said they did
spray fields to control podworms.
When asked whether they felt
they had benefited from par
ticipation in the project, 12 said

yes. The other six told Palecki they
weren’t sure release of the
parasite directly benefited them
this past summer because weather
conditions were unfavorable to
MBB build-ups, but added that
over a number of years they felt
they had seen overall beneficial
effects.
When asked if they would buy
parasites if available from a
private company once the pilot
project has ended, most growers
surveyed indicated that cost would
be a major concern. (Under the
pilot project, they have been
receiving free parasites.) Five
growers said they would definitely
buy parasites, after seeing them
perform against the bean beetle.
Twelve others indicated they
would do so only if the cost was not
significantly higher than chemical
controls.
Overall, those surveyed said
they liked using parasites instead
of chemicals to control MBB and
considered this a promising ap
proach.
“Weather conditions over the
past four years have made it
difficult to assess the overall
impact of this pest management
program and determine its actual
cost benefits,” Palecki says.
“There’s been the potential for a
high population but between the
weather and nurse-plot knockouts
where we trap the beetles before
they get into the soybeans the
pressure hasn’t developed in many
fields ”
