The first detection of adult soybean gall emergence for 2020 was June 10 in Cass County, Neb. Emergence is expected soon in Minnesota. Emergence of the adults of the overwintering generation will be tracked in infested states (Figure 1 below). Updates can be found at soybeangallmidge.org. Map: Justin McMechan, UNL Counties where the soybean gall midge has been observed. Biology and damage It is unlikely you will observe the tiny (2-3 mm) adults in the field.
By Bruce Potter, IPM specialist and Bob Koch, Extension entomologist Recently described as a new species, the soybean gall midge, Resseliella maxima (Gagné), is the first member of the genus Resseliella reported from soybean. It is a member of the rather large and diverse family of flies, the gall midges (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae). The larvae of many gall midges feed on galls formed in plant tissues. However, some species do not form galls.
