Managing Stink Bugs

Aerial Insecticide Treatments for Management of Dectes Stem Borer, Dectes texanus, in Soybean

The Dectes stem borer, Dectes texanus LeConte (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae), is an increasingly important pest of soybean and sunflower in central North America. Nine large-scale field trials were conducted over a 3-year period to determine if Dectes stem borer could be managed with insecticide treatments. Aerial applications of lambda on July 6, 12 and 15 were successful in significantly reducing...

Developing Host-Plant Resistance for Hemipteran Soybean Pests: Lessons from Soybean Aphid and Stink Bugs

Treatment Thresholds for Stink Bugs , 2003

Predominant phytophagous (plant-feeding) stink bugs in the southeast and much of the mid-South are similar and include the green stink bug, Acrosternum hilare (Say), the southern green stink-bug, Nezara viridula (L.), and the brown stink bug, Euschistus servus (Say). Several other species are part of the plantfeeding stink bug complex but are of less importance. Stink bugs will become more impo...

Dynamics and seasonal abundance of stink bugs (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) in a cotton-soybean ecosystem.

Two soybean varieties (early-maturing group V and late-maturing group VII) and two cotton varieties (conventional and transgenic (Bt) were grown in adjacent replicated large field plots (approximately 0.1 ha each) at two locations for 3 yr. The dynamics and relative abundance of phytophagous stink bugs within these two crops were observed. The most abundant pentatomid species in both crops for ...
