Monitoring for and Management of Stink Bugs

J. K. Greene, Gary A. Herzog and Russell F. Mizell, III


 
ABSTRACT

Because stink bugs can be difficult to detect in cotton with traditional sampling tools, we examined other methods of monitoring the pest complex for management decisions. Euschistus servus (Say) was successfully lured and captured during the season, but potential for successful pheromone trapping of stink bugs remains contingent upon development of lures for other important species. Action thresholds for stink bugs based on internal boll damage caused by their feeding were tested, and treatment at 20% injury to 14-d-old bolls adequately protected yields.
