| stink bug (hemiptera: heteroptera: pentatomidae) feeding and phenology on early-maturing soybean in minnesota. | the invasion by halyomorpha halys (stål) and an increasing abundance of native pentatomidae pose a threat to soybean, glycine max (l.) merrill, production in northern states. a risk assessment framework was used to provide an initial assessment of the risk of pentatomidae affecting soybean production in northern states. a caged field study was performed over two years to assess the response of soybean to h. halys feeding. cages placed over r4 soybean were infested with 0, 1, 2, 4, or 8 fourth-in ... | 2015 | 26453722 |
| density and egg parasitism of stink bugs (hemiptera: pentatomidae) in elderberry and dispersal into crops. | chinavia hilaris (say), euschistus servus (say), euschistus tristigmus (say), and thyanta custator custator (f.) (hemiptera: pentatomidae) are serious pests of crops in the southeastern united states but little is known concerning their dispersal from noncrop hosts in woodlands into crops. this 2-yr study was conducted to investigate whether elderberry [sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis (l.) r. bolli] in woodlands serves as a source of stink bugs dispersing into adjacent crops and to examine para ... | 2016 | 27773875 |
| composition and abundance of stink bugs (heteroptera: pentatomidae) in corn. | the species composition and abundance of stink bugs (heteroptera: pentatomidae) in corn, zea mays l., was determined in this on-farm study in georgia. seven species of phytophagous stink bugs were found on corn with the predominant species being nezara viridula (l.) and euschistus servus (say). all developmental stages of these two pests were found, indicating they were developing on the corn crop. the remaining five species, oebalus pugnax pugnax (f.), euschistus quadrator (rolston), euschistu ... | 2010 | 22182541 |
| monitoring stink bugs (hemiptera: pentatomidae) in mid-atlantic apple and peach orchards. | pyramid traps coated with "industrial safety yellow" exterior latex gloss enamel paint and baited with euschistus spp. aggregation pheromone, methyl (2e,4z)-decadienoate captured more stink bugs than all other baited and unbaited trap types in both apple and peach orchards in 2002 and 2003. commercial sources of dispensers of methyl (2e,4z)-decadienoate deployed in association with pyramid traps had a significant impact on trap captures. captures in pyramid traps were four-fold greater when bait ... | 2005 | 15765676 |
| predation of the newly invasive pest megacopta cribraria (hemiptera: plataspidae) in soybean habitats adjacent to cotton by a complex of predators. | the kudzu bug, megacopta cribraria (f.) (hemiptera: plataspidae),is a newly invasive exotic insect found primarily on kudzu, but also on soybean, in the southeastern united states. we used molecular gut-content analysis to document predation on this pest by insects and spiders in soybean, and to detect remains of crop-specific alternative prey in predators' guts as markers of predator migration between soybean and adjacent cotton. m. cribraria was found exclusively on soybean. eight native gener ... | 2014 | 25026652 |
| stylet penetration estimates for a suite of phytophagous hemipteran pests of row crops. | members of the miridae (lygus lineolaris palisot de beauvois and pseudatomoscelis seriatus reuter) and pentatomidae (acrosternum hilare say, euschistus servus (say), euschistus tristigmus (say), euschistus quadrator rolston, oebalus pugnax (f.), piezodorus guildinii (westwood), and thyanta custator accerra mcatee) comprise a piercing-sucking insect complex that continues to plague multiple crops, including cotton. all these species have been associated with pathogen transmission. breaching of bo ... | 2015 | 26313968 |
| nosema maddoxi sp. nov. (microsporidia, nosematidae), a widespread pathogen of the green stink bug chinavia hilaris (say) and the brown marmorated stink bug halyomorpha halys (stål). | we describe a unique microsporidian species that infects the green stink bug, chinavia hilaris; the brown marmorated stink bug, halyomorpha halys; the brown stink bug, euschistus servus; and the dusky stink bug, euschistus tristigmus. all life stages are unikaryotic, but analysis of the consensus small subunit region of the ribosomal gene places this microsporidium in the genus nosema, which historically has been characterized by diplokaryotic life stages. it is also characterized by having the ... | 2017 | 28984006 |
