Brief Project Summary:

The redbanded stink bug is a relatively new pest that has posed a potentially significant threat to Arkansas soybean production over the last couple of years. In 2009, high numbers were observed earlier than ever in our state (40-80 per 25 sweeps in early August, Ashley County). Preliminary data suggests that not only can this pest inflict more crop damage than our more common stink bugs, but control with insecticides may be more difficult to attain when compared to other stink bugs. Findings from this project should have a positive economic effect on production costs by preserving yields and seed quality in full-season as well as double-crop soybean fields infested with redbanded stink...
