What is Gall Midge?
Soybean Gall Midge (Resseliella maxima) is a new soybean pest in the Midwest with tiny white and orange larvae. These larvae feed on the stems of soybean plants until the plant snaps, resulting in plant and yield loss.
Gall Midge infestation can typically be found along the edge of fields. It appears as swelling, discoloration, or outgrowth of the stem. Infested plants quickly wilt and die or break off at the feeding site near the soil line. Significant yield reductions may occur at field edges.

How Does MidgeGuard Plus Work?
MidgeGuard Plus paired with Bifenthrin is the first solution proven to control and manage Gall Midge. MidgeGuard Plus translocates Bifenthrin to dissolve the Gall Midge’s mouth, stopping its ability to feed on the soybean stem. Additionally, MidgeGuard Plus makes the plant’s cell wall more permeable, making the insecticide more effective.
Why MidgeGuard Plus?
Stops Gall Midge by translocating Bifenthrin to kill off the larvae
Coats the plant to kill off fungal spores
Makes the cell wall of the plant more permeable to increase insecticide performance
