Soybean Mosaic Virus - Risk Assessment
- Soybeans infested with aphids are at increased risk of virus infection.
- Late planting coincides with higher populations of the soybean aphid and increases the probability of transmission to young seedlings.
- Infection in the early growth stages has the greatest risk of yield loss and reduced seed quality, compared to infection later in the season.
