Title: Soybean Aphid Development on, and BCMV Transmission to, Otebo Dry Bean
Abstract: The non-native soybean aphid (SBA), Aphis glycines, is now common on soybean across the Midwest. Dry beans are not listed as a host for SBA, but SBA outbreaks in Michigan correspond with increased incidence of Bean common mosaic potyvirus (BCMV) in susceptible dry bean varieties. This study examined SBA development on and BCMV transmission to Otebo beans. SBA females deposited nymphs on dry bean foliage after two days in the laboratory and field, but survival and reproduction were less on dry bean than on soybean. After six days in the laboratory and field, all adults and nymphs were dead on dry beans. However, studies using winged SBA confirmed their ability to transmit BCMV from and to Otebo dry bean.
