Soybean gall midge (Resseliella maxima Gagne) is a new species causing significant injury to soybean in the midwestern USA. To date, larval presence has been documented in 140 counties across Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Missouri. The presence and yield loss of this new pest varies considerably across its geographic range. This presentation will highlight some of the potential factors for risk, as well as data collected from field surveys and spatial impacts within a field.
