| 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 |
| action thresholds for managing megacopta cribraria (hemiptera: plataspidae) in soybean based on sweep-net sampling. | the kudzu bug, megacopta cribraria (f.), first discovered in the united states in 2009, has rapidly become a pest of commercial soybean, glycine max (l.) merrill, throughout much of the southeast. because of its recent arrival, management practices and recommendations are not well established. to develop action thresholds, we evaluated insecticide applications targeted at different densities of adults and nymphs determined using the standard 38-cm diameter sweep net sampling method in 12 soybean ... | 2015 | 26470324 |
| effect of planting date and maturity group on soybean yield response to injury by megacopta cribraria (hemiptera: plataspidae). | the kudzu bug, megacopta cribraria (f.), is an invasive member of the family plataspidae originating from asia. since its discovery in georgia in 2009, its distribution has increased to 13 southern and eastern states. in the united states, m. cribraria is bivoltine and has two primary developmental hosts, kudzu and soybean. here, we evaluated the yield response of soybean to m. cribraria feeding injury in relation to planting date and soybean maturity group. the study contained four replicated t ... | 2016 | 26511984 |
| seasonal population dynamics of megacopta cribraria (hemiptera: plataspidae) in kudzu and soybean, and implication for insecticidal management in soybean. | megacopta cribraria (f.), an invasive species introduced from asia in 2009, is now prolific in the southeastern united states. megacopta cribraria develops primarily on kudzu and soybean completing two generations. it is not well understood how this economic pest is affected by changes in geographic distribution in the united states or how population levels have changed since its establishment. the effect of insecticide application timing on field populations of m. cribraria is not well document ... | 2017 | 28039424 |
| spatial and temporal dynamics of stink bugs in southeastern farmscapes. | a 3-yr study (2009-2011) was conducted to examine the spatial and temporal dynamics of stink bugs in three commercial farmscapes. study locations were replicated in south carolina and georgia, in an agriculturally diverse region known as the southeastern coastal plain. crops included wheat, triticum aestivum (l.), corn, zea mays (l.), soybean, glycine max (l.), cotton, gossypium hirsutum (l.), and peanut, arachis hypogaea (l.). farmscapes were sampled weekly using whole-plant examinations for co ... | 2015 | 25843577 |
