| 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 all 3 yr were nezara viridula (l.), acrosternum hilare (say), and euschistus servus (say). several othe ... | 2000 | 10902318 |
| influence of herbicide tolerant soybean production systems on insect pest populations and pest-induced crop damage. | conventional soybean weed management and transgenic herbicide-tolerant management were examined to assess their effects on soybean insect pest populations in south georgia in 1997 and 1998. soybean variety had very little impact on the insect species observed, except that maturity group effects were observed for stink bug, primarily nezara viridula (l.), population densities on some sampling dates. stink bugs were more abundant on the early maturing varieties in mid-season. velvetbean caterpilla ... | 2003 | 12852606 |
| spatiotemporal patterns and dispersal of stink bugs (heteroptera: pentatomidae) in peanut-cotton farmscapes. | in the southeast united states, a field of peanuts, arachis hypogaea l., is often closely associated with a field of cotton, gossypium hirsutum l. the objective of this 4-yr on-farm study was to examine and compare the spatiotemporal patterns and dispersal of the southern green stink bug, nezara viridula l., and the brown stink bug, euschistus servus (say), in six of these peanut-cotton farmscapes. gs(+) version 9 was used to generate interpolated estimates of stink bug density by inverse distan ... | 2009 | 19689882 |
| crop juxtaposition affects cotton fiber quality in georgia farmscapes. | phytophagous stink bugs (hemiptera: pentatomidae), including green stink bug [acrosternum hilare (say)], southern green stink bug [nezara viridula (l.)], and brown stink bug [euschistus servus (say)], have become a serious production issue for southeastern u.s. cotton, gossypium hirsutum l., growers. to investigate how different agronomic crops may affect stink bug damage and fiber quality in neighboring cotton fields, replicated 1.6-2.0-ha trials were planted with corn (zea mays l.), peanut (ar ... | 2009 | 19736764 |
| sampling stink bugs (hemiptera: pentatomidae) for population estimation and pest management in southeastern cotton production. | stink bugs (hemiptera: pentatomidae) were sampled in commercial cotton, gossypium hirsutum l., fields in 2007 and 2008 in south carolina and georgia. the main species collected with the beat cloth and sweep net methods were green stink bug, acrosternum hilare (say) (63 and 57%, respectively); brown stink bug, euschistus servus (say) (23 and 18%, respectively); and southern green stink bug, nezara viridula (l.) (14 and 22%, respectively). average stink bug densities were 0.145 +/- 0.010 (mean +/- ... | 2009 | 20069868 |
| spatial dynamics of stink bugs (hemiptera: pentatomidae) and associated boll injury in southeastern cotton fields. | grid sampling (one sample per 0.40 ha) in 12 cotton (gossypium hirsutum l.) fields for stink bugs and boll injury caused by stink bug feeding was conducted in 2007 and 2008 in south carolina and georgia. the main species collected using the beat cloth method were the green stink bug, acrosternum hilare (say) (69%); brown stink bug, euschistus servus (say) (18%); and the southern green stink bug, nezara viridula (l.) (14%), respectively. the inverted distance weighted interpolation method and spa ... | 2010 | 20550811 |
