Brief Project Summary:

In soybean fields of Kentucky there are two recurrent stink bug species that require control; the green stink bug (GSB), and the brown stink bug (BSB). However, there are two invasive species; the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), and the redbanded stink bug (RBSB). BMSB and RBSB may cause problems because they are expanding their geographically range. Moreover, studies on these two invasive species have shown that they persist when insecticides used to control the GSB and BSB are applied. In this project we will complete an educational comprehensive study for management strategies against stink bugs affecting soybeans in Kentucky. We will accomplish this with the following more specific...
