Foliage feeding is generally localized, with only large aggregations causing economic problems. Rarely is more than spot treatment required. Soybean plants can withstand up to 35 percent foliage loss during the blooming period. Foliage loss of 20 percent or more may decrease yields when pods are forming and beginning to fill. After beans are nearly filled, defoliation rarely causes a yield reduction.
