Ed(s): C. Ranger

author keywords: arm-pivoting flight mill; stink bug; plant host use; body weight

Megacopta cribraria(Hemiptera: Plataspidae) Population Dynamics in Soybeans as Influenced by Planting Date, Maturity Group, and Insecticide Use

Pozo-Valdivia, A. I. D., Seiter, N. J., Reisig, D. D., Greene, J. K., Reay-Jones, F. P. F., & Bacheler, J. S. (2016, February 18). Journal of Economic Entomology, Vol. 109, pp. 1141–1155.

By: A. Pozo-Valdivia n, N. Seiter *, D. Reisig n , J. Greene *, F. Reay-Jones * & J. Bacheler n

author keywords: cultural practice; kudzu bug; invasive species; cumulative insect days; Glycine max
topics (OpenAlex): Insect-Plant Interactions and Control; Hemiptera Insect Studies
TL;DR: There was a negative linear relationship between M. cribraria populations and soybean yield, and although early planted soybeans may avoid drought conditions and potentially large populations of defoliators, these fields may be at greater risk for infestation by the insect.

Impacts of tillage, maturity group, and insecticide use on Megacopta cribraria (Hemiptera: Plataspidae) populations in double cropped soybean

J. Econ. Entomol, 1(1), tow288.

By: A. Del Pozo-Valdivia*, D. Reisig*  & J. Bacheler n

author keywords: Soil preparation; kudzu bug; cumulative insect day; Glycine max; cultural control
MeSH headings : Agriculture / methods; Animals; Heteroptera / growth & development; Heteroptera / physiology; Insect Control; Insecticides; North Carolina; Nymph / growth & development; Oviposition; Seasons; Soybeans / growth & development
topics (OpenAlex): Hemiptera Insect Studies; Insect-Plant Interactions and Control
TL;DR: Investigation of the effect of soil tillage, maturity group selection, and insecticide use on kudzu bug densities in soybean found selection of the maturity group influenced the attractiveness of the kUDzu bug to oviposit on soybean. (via Semantic Scholar)

2016 article

Management ofMegacopta cribraria(Hemiptera: Plataspidae) at Different Stages of Soybean (Fabales: Fabaceae) Development

Seiter, N. J., Pozo-Valdivia, A. I. D., Greene, J. K., Reay-Jones, F. P. F., Roberts, P. M., & Reisig, D. D. (2016, March 29). Journal of Economic Entomology, Vol. 109, pp. 1167–1176.

By: N. Seiter *, A. Pozo-Valdivia n, J. Greene *, F. Reay-Jones *, P. Roberts* & D. Reisig n 

author keywords: kudzu bug; insect day; plant phenology; invasive species; soybean yield
topics (OpenAlex): Insect-Plant Interactions and Control; Insect and Pesticide Research; Plant and animal studies
TL;DR: Differences in the susceptibility of soybean to M. cribraria-induced yield reductions based on plant phenology were assessed using two experimental protocols in Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina from 2011 to 2013 in which soybeans were protected from M. bedraria using insecticides during different stages of plant Phenology.

Action thresholds based on sweep-net sampling for management of the kudzu bug, Megacopta cribraria (Hemiptera: Plataspidae)

J. Econ. Entomol, 108(4), 1818–1829.

By: N. Seiter *, A. Valdiva  n, J. Greene *, F. Reay-Jones *, P. Roberts & D. Reisig* 

author keywords: invasive species; cumulative insect day; economic benefit; yield component

topics (OpenAlex): Hemiptera Insect Studies; Insect-Plant Interactions and Control; Insect and Pesticide Research
TL;DR: It is suggested that a single insecticide application targeting nymphs was sufficient to prevent soybean yield reduction at the densities of M. cribraria that the authors observed. (via Semantic Scholar)

First generation Megacopta cribraria (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Plataspidae) can develop on soybeans

J. Econ. Entomol, 106(2), 533–535.

By: A. Del Pozo-Valdiva n & D. Reisig n 

author keywords: Megacopta cribraria; soybean; first-generation; rearing; life table
MeSH headings : Animals; Heteroptera / growth & development; North Carolina; Nymph / growth & development; Phaseolus / physiology; Seasons; Soybeans / physiology
topics (OpenAlex): Insect-Plant Interactions and Control; Plant and animal studies; Hemiptera Insect Studies
TL;DR: Kudzu may not be an obligate host for the development of first-generation M. cribraria and an important implication of this finding is the establishment for this pest on spring-planted soybean and for the possible expanded geographic range for this pests beyond that of kudzu.
