What to look for
Soybean, vegetative growth
Twice a week, turn over leaves and check underneath. Yellow then brown leaf tips = leafhoppers. Bronze/silver leaves with fine webbing = spider mites (worse in dry weather). Tiny green bugs in groups = aphids. Treat heavy infestations.
Also watch for
General advice from crop guides for Ghana. Before you spray, ask your agro-input dealer for a product registered for this pest, read the label, and wear gloves. For a serious attack, call your district agriculture office or an agronomist.
