Abstract
Soybean growers employ various management practices which serve as preventive tactics against a variety of soybean arthropod pests. Conservation tillage practices and the use of cover crops will most often be useful as preventive practices against soil pests due to their direct impact on arthropods. Relay intercropping can have dramatic impacts on certain foliar pest species and should be further examined for its effect on other pests. As analyses which focus on the overall farming system lead to the adoption of alternative cropping practices, such practices might prove useful in preventing losses due to other pests, including weed sand plant pathogens. They may also have beneficial impacts on other parameters related to the cropping system, such as nutrient availability and grower profitability.
