A field experiment using attached soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merrill, leaves showed that fresh weight gain of Geocoris punctipes (Say) (Hemiptera: Lygaeidae) nymphs between days 14 and 21 was greater on ‘Govan’ and ‘Bragg’ leaves than on leaves of PI229358. Weight gain on ‘Govan’ leaves was greater than on PI171451 leaves. In the same experiment, there were no differences in fresh weight growth of G. punctipes nymphs on detached leaves of the four genotypes.
