Soybean is world’s leading agricultural crop with multiple uses including human food, animal feed, edible oil, biofuel, industrial products, cosmetics, etc. In soybean production, United States (US) is the leading producer with 33% of the world’s total production of 251.5 million MT, amounting to $38.5 billion in production value [1,2]. In North-America, there has been an exponential increase of soybean acreage during the second half of last century, but there is a continuous threat of pests attacking this crop. Soybean yield is impacted by various kinds of pests such as fungi, bacteria, and insects [3]. Indeed, the strategies and input costs for pest management in soybean have changed dramatically with time [3-5]. For example, there has been a 130-fold increase in insecticide use across the North-Central US states since 2001 [4].
