Abstract
Soybean is the major leguminous crop grown worldwide and the most important producers are the United States, Brazil, Argentina, China and India. Insects attacking soybean germinating seeds, roots, stem, leaves, pods and seeds may limit production, depending on their abundance and damage potential in each soybean growing region (Kogan and Turnipseed, 1987; Moscardi, 1993; Gazzoni et al., 1994). Although entomopathogens can be used in different ways to control insect pests (Lacey and Goettel, 1995), this chapter will deal mostly with the “microbial insecticide approach,” when entomopathogens are applied as many times as needed to maintain pests below economic injury levels. In this sense, the pathogen should be highly virulent to the host insect and should reach the pest in its most susceptible stage. Our objective is to provide field techniques and protocols for application and evaluation of entomopathogens being used or with potential to be employed in soybean systems as microbial agents. Emphasis will be given to Lepidoptera (especially defoliators) and stink bugs (Heteroptera) due to their importance in most soybean growing regions and the greater availability of information on application and evaluation of entomopathogens for these groups.
