Brief Project Summary:

Several studies have been conducted to determine the occurrence of parasitism and predation of stink bug eggs in various cropping systems. These studies mainly investigated the impact of natural enemies on other species and little information is available on brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) control. The objectives of this study are to examine the impact of habitat on species composition of parasitoids and predators of BMSB. The study will also determine the effects of cover crops on weed density and effect on the soil's nutrient profile resulting from the biomass produced.
