Our soybean scouts detected kudzu bug in two new Virginia counties this past week (Halifax and Greene); both of these locations had low numbers.  The highest numbers of kudzu bugs reported by our scouts for the past week were in a Pittsylvania soybean field (8 nymphs and 3 adults per 15 sweeps), followed by Goochland (4 adults per 15 sweeps) and Henry (3 nymphs and 2 adults per 15 sweeps).  Additionally, VCE Agent Scott Reiter reported high numbers of kudzu bug adults along the edge in a Prince George soybean field that was bordered by kudzu (50 adults in 15 sweeps in the first 30 feet of field, diminishing to 3-4 adults per 15 sweeps at 100 feet from the field edge).  Scott found other fields with 0-3 kudzu bugs in 15 sweeps.
