Multistate Study on Insecticidal Seed Treatment in Soybean Photo By: R. Venette

Multi-Disciplinary, Multi-State Aphid Project Funded by the North Central Soybean Research Program Seed treatment objective a subset of a larger project

Soybean aphids are still a problem… Dominant soybean insect pest in NC region Still costs producers a lot of money –~ $827 million annual expenditures for foliar and seed insecticides Array of management options

Neonicotinoid seed treatments are widespread lousianacrops.com Aei-ideas.org 2wglobal.com Most annual crops grown from treated seed –Virtually all corn (95+ million acres) –60-75% of soybean (more in some areas) (70+ million acres) –Canola, wheat, cotton Total of ≈ 200 million acres/year Slide courtesy of Christian Krupke, Purdue University

Insecticidal seed treatments in soybean: A current hot topic

A key question… Are insecticidal seed treatments a good insect control investment in soybeans in the North Central region? –In 2014 North Central producers spent approximately $316 million on them

Broad-scale study of thiamethoxam seed treatments 7-state field study; 8 locations; 2 years –Wide range of conditions Economic analysis by Dr. Paul Mitchell, ag economist (University of Wisconsin) NCSRP Multistate Experiment, IA KS MN SD ND WI IN

Seed Treatment Study Collaborators Eileen Cullen (UW-Madison) Erin Hodgson (ISU) Janet Knodel (NDSU) Christian Krupke (Purdue) Brian McCornack (KSU) Paul Mitchell (UW-Madison) Bruce Potter (UMN-Lamberton) Kelley Tilmon (SDSU)

Questions about thiamethoxam seed treatment on soybean Window of activity Expression in pollen Efficacy against soybean aphid Net return of thiamethoxam vs. scouting/thresholds/foliar- treatment

Window of activity Thiamethoxam in soybean, post planting Sampled plant tissue in each location through growing season for thiamethoxam levels (2012) Newest trifoliate; pollen (when flowering) Untreated plants vs. thiamethoxam-treated plants LC-MS/MS analysis to determine how much insecticide is present in plant tissues Madeline Ivy Spigler, MS Purdue, 2013

Good news for pollinators: no neonicotinoids detected in soybean pollen of any treatment Slide courtesy of Christian Krupke, Purdue University

Concentrations (ppb) of thiamethoxam from foliage samples, treated vs. untreated plants (n=88 samples) * = significant differences detected ANOVA, F=20.03; df=1,120; P<0.001

Concentrations (ppb) of thiamethoxam from foliage samples (n=88 samples) * = significant differences detected ANOVA, F=20.03; df=1,120; P<0.001 Slide courtesy of Christian Krupke, Purdue University

Thiamethoxam concentration in new soybean vegetation

Thiamethoxam in new tissue fades 3 weeks after planting (early/mid June) Aphids typically start to build (mid/late July)

What about yield? 2012 Study Design Five states, six locations Minimum plot size = 40’ x 4 rows (30”); 4 reps Three treatments (all with same soybean variety at a given location): –Naked seed –ApronMaxx –CruiserMaxx

2012 was a drought year Little/no soybean aphid pressure except in Minnesota

Seed treatment study results 2012 No significant difference between any treatments No intrinsic “yield bump” from seed treatment

2013 Study Design Added additional states/sites (7states, 8 locations) Added an “IPM treatment” = foliar insecticide applied when aphids reach 250 aphid/plant threshold Conducted economic analysis to compare likelihood of return on seed treatment vs. scout+spray

Bars with significant yield differences (ANOVA and means-comparison P<0.05) –RED = worse yield –GREEN = better yield –BLUE = not different

IPM (scout and treat) vs. CruiserMaxx-only: Economic analysis Common assumptions: Soybean price = $11.36/bu Soybean yield = 50 bu/acre Slide courtesy of Christian Krupke, Purdue University

Question: What are the chances of a net return with either of these approaches? –thiamethoxam seed treatment –scouting/thresholds/foliar- treatment Assumes an “aphid year” Analysis by Dr. Paul Mitchell, ag economist, UW Madison

IPM vs. CruiserMaxx-only: Economic analysis Costs of CruiserMaxx-only approach: $7.67/acre insecticidal seed treatment

IPM vs. CruiserMaxx-only: Economic analysis Costs of CruiserMaxx-only approach: $7.67/acre insecticidal seed treatment

IPM vs. CruiserMaxx-only: Economic analysis Costs of CruiserMaxx-only approach: $7.67/acre insecticidal seed treatment = 66.2% chance of positive net return; average return of $6.02/acre

IPM vs. CruiserMaxx-only: Economic analysis Costs of IPM approach: $7.44/acre scouting $7.20/acre application cost $4.43/acre cost of insecticide Assume 25% of fields require treatment Costs of CruiserMaxx-only approach: $7.67/acre insecticidal seed treatment = 66.2% chance of positive net return; average return of $6.02/acre

IPM vs. CruiserMaxx-only: Economic analysis Costs of IPM approach: $7.44/acre scouting $7.20/acre application cost $4.43/acre cost of insecticide Assume 25% of fields require treatment Costs of CruiserMaxx-only approach: $7.67/acre insecticidal seed treatment = 66.2% chance of positive net return; average return of $6.02/acre

IPM vs. CruiserMaxx-only: Economic analysis Costs of IPM approach: $7.44/acre scouting $7.20/acre application cost $4.43/acre cost of insecticide Assume 25% of fields require treatment = 94.5% chance of positive net return; average return $21.02/acre Costs of CruiserMaxx-only approach: $7.67/acre insecticidal seed treatment = 66.2% chance of positive net return; average return of $6.02/acre

The Upshot In a year with aphid pressure, across the region, thiamethoxam seed treatment might provide a net return (66% chance), but classic IPM (scouting/threshold/foliar insecticide) has a better chance providing a net return (94% chance) Potential net return higher for IPM ($21) than seed treatment ($6)

Will seed treatment let me walk away from the problem? A word of caution…

If you didn’t scout and spray these treatments you lost money. If you did, you paid for your insect management twice.

Insecticidal seed treatments in soybean: A current hot topic

Where it Helps Seed treatment and early- season bean leaf beetle Soil pests (wireworms etc.), especially after CRP

Different pest complexes in Mid- south

Summary CruiserMaxx-treated soybeans are not toxic for long enough for adequate aphid control Know what you can reasonably expect from the product Insecticidal seed treatment in soybean has a role for some producers, in some situations –But these situations are the exception, not the rule

NOT…
