Grower Survey of Soybean Gall Midge and Dectes Stem Borer
Dr. Doug Golick from the University of Nebraska is conducting a survey on the opinion of soybean producers on emerging pests. As a subscriber of the soybean gall midge alert network website, I would like to inform you that a link to this survey is available for you to provide your opinions on emerging soybean pests in Nebraska. Participation in this survey will take about 15 minutes to complete. If you are interested in participating in this study, follow the link to the survey here:

SGM Cage Network
Cages to track adult emergence of soybean gall midge from last year’s soybean will be placed in the field on May 10th to track emergence which will likely occur in late May or early June. The maps will be updated below to show the current sites for 2024.
Thank you to the USDA NIFA, North Central Soybean Research Program, Nebraska Soybean Board, Minnesota Rapid Response Agricultural Fund, Minnesota Soybean Research and Promotion Council, and our Industry Partners for funding soybean gall midge research.
All cages removed, no new updates on emergence until 2024
