Figure 2. Appropriated sampling procedure with the aid of a sample-cloth. First,you position yourself in the area to be sampled (A). Second, with the sample-clothplaced in the middle of two soybean rows in a way to cover the soil and on the rows,sampler must agitate the uncovered rows to move all the insects to the sample cloth(B). Finally, you scout the insects sampled over the cloth (C).In this context, it is important to emphasize that among the pest control mostly usedon soybean crops, many times used exclusively, is indeed the spray of chemicals.The use of a single practice contradicts the IPM recommendations that indicate,whenever possible, the use of different management tactics in a harmonious manner.Hence, without a solid base and attributing the sustainment of the Soybean-IPM,only and exclusively to chemical control, the Soybean Integrated Pest Managementbecomes extremely fragile (Figure 3).AcademyPublish.org - The Impact of Pesticides168
