Member Symposium

Pollinators and Soybeans: Impacts, Complications, and Future Directions

Thursday, November 19, 2020
10:00 AM - 1:15 PM EST

Livestream

Discussion of recent research and perspectives related to pollinators in soybean agroecosystems in diverse regions. Topics include pollinators in soybean fields and surrounding landscapes, management strategies that support pollinators while improving crop yield, and pollinator conservation from aspects of entomologists, agronomists, ecologists, farmers, beekeepers, and the seed industry.
