The aphid pressure data is collected by an independent, third party group - Integrated Pest Management, Pest Information Platform for Extension and Education (IPM PIPE). The IPM PIPE web site is intended to provide information on soybean and other legume crop pests in order to assist growers in their field management decision making. The Aphid Alert email, text and voicemail updates utilize this valuable public information and are provided to subscribers as a convenience on behalf of Leverage 2.7 insecticide. These updates are meant to provide localized and timely updates on aphid population trends, but should not be used on their own to make application decisions. Always scout individual fields to make an accurate decision on insect control treatments.
