Abstract: A multispecies physiological, mechanistic soybean plant growth model was used to compare net returns from different levels of producer compliance to IPM extension recommendations. While the majority of producer-s that comply with IPM extension recommendations follow a delayed spraying regimen preliminary results indicate that strict and timely adherence to extension guidelines provides for first degree stochastic dominance over the prevalent delayed spraying strategy, and a no control approach.
