“…The aggregation pheromone for H. halys has been identified, which has been found to have a synergistic effect on attraction of H. halys when combined with methyl decatrienoate, the pheromone from Plautia stali . The aggregation pheromone does not need to be highly purified, and these stimuli are effective at trapping H. halys throughout its introduced range in the United States . Thus, there is an effective trap and lure for helping to inform the efficacy of a treatment and the pressure of H. halys in agricultural landscapes, helping to alleviate the risk from mobile adults that are exposed to sublethal doses of insecticide.…”

The consequences of sublethal exposure to insecticide on the survivorship and mobility ofHalyomorpha halys(Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)

Many insecticide-exposed H. halys adults retained significant mobility and flight capacity, with flight most pronounced immediately after exposure. These results suggest that brief exposure periods to efficacious insecticides will result in high dispersal and low mortality. Therefore, management strategies that enhance the retention of H. halys on insecticide-coated surfaces should be considered to ensure that adults are exposed to a lethal dose of insecticide. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.

“…Overwintering adults (males and females) of BMSB were collected in January 2017 in two infested sites in northern and Central Italy (44°37.53′18″N–11°01.41′98″E; 43°38′16.16″N–10°02′07.18″E). Individuals were collected gently by hand in farmers facilities (e.g., depots) and then laboratory reared for 3 weeks in insect cages (40 × 40 × 80 cm), located in rearing rooms set at 25 °C and 16:8 L:D, with the aim to break diapause and return them to an active stage (i.e., able to feed, move and fly); dead insects, injured specimens (with no intact limbs and/or antennae) and weakened individuals were removed from cages before starting the tests (Leskey, Agnello, et al., ; Leskey, Lee, et al., ; Morrison et al., ). Insects were provided with green beans, fresh carrots, sunflower seeds and peanuts as food, which was replenished three times per week.…”

Black light was displayed to be attractive to BMSB, and it is often used in insect monitoring programmes (Leskey, Agnello, et al., ; Leskey, Lee, et al., ; Nielsen et al., ).

Halyomorpha halys is a polyphagous insect species with an original eastern Asiatic distribution, which was recently and accidentally introduced in the USA and Europe, where it became a serious agricultural pest. Chemicals have been widely used for its control leading often to failure of IPM programmes. Several approaches aimed at pest monitoring and control are currently under investigation, for example trapping, screening, border management and biological control. In the present work, we investigated the lethal and sublethal effects of the use of a long-lasting insecticide-treated net (LLIN with α-cypermethrin), focusing on the perspective to control H. halys in an integrated approach. All experiments were carried out in the laboratory either in small arenas, at five exposure times (5, 15, 30, 45 and 60 min) or in large cages at 8 hr exposure. In small arenas, the LLIN induced sublethal effects and/or effectively killed the adults. A higher adult mortality was observed after longer exposure times (LT 90 was 51.64 min for females and 40.83 min for males). However, several specimens recovered from sublethal effects, with higher recovery rates after shorter exposure times. In the cage experiments, a significantly higher mortality (65% males and 75% of females) was recorded compared with controls. LLINs are physical barriers that can improve crop protection due to their insecticidal activity, and can be reasonably applied in various attract-and-kill systems both in glasshouses and in the field.

“…Three of these plots, spaced at least 50 m apart, were established and sampled in three separate trials from 12 Sep to 19 Sep 2013, a period when high numbers of H. halys are typically present in the field (Leskey et al 2015a).…”

Establishing the behavioral basis for an attract-and-kill strategy to manage the invasive Halyomorpha halys in apple orchards

Halyomorpha halys (Stål), the brown marmorated stink bug, is an invasive, polyphagous insect that causes serious economic injury in particular to specialty crops in the United States. Growers have been forced to respond by increasing the frequency of broad-spectrum insecticide (e.g., neonicotinoid, pyrethroid, and carbamate) applications. One strategy to reduce reliance on insecticides is known as ''attract-and-kill'' whereby the targeted insect is attracted to a spatially precise location to be eliminated by a killing agent such as an insecticide. This approach can substantially reduce the amount of insecticide used by sparing alternate row middle or whole block sprays. For apple orchards, we propose baiting select border row trees with the H. halys aggregation pheromone and synergist and subsequently treating these baited trees with effective insecticides to kill H. halys throughout the growing season. To evaluate the behavioral basis of this approach, we conducted orchard trials with black pyramid traps, harmonic radar, and trials using baited apple trees sprayed weekly to quantify H. halys arrestment area, retention time, adult and nymph annihilation, and fruit injury in and near these attract-and-kill sites. The arrestment area for H. halys was confined to a 2.5 m radius around the pheromone-and pheromone synergist-baited trap regardless of pheromone dose (84 or 840 mg), while the retention capacity of adults was significantly increased by pairing the aggregation pheromone and synergist with a fruiting host plant compared with non-host sites. Damage to fruit harvested from baited attract-and-kill trees was high, but minimal in surrounding unbaited neighboring apple trees. Our results suggest attract-and-kill may be an effective strategy for managing H. halys season-long.Keywords Integrated pest management Á Brown marmorated stink bug Á Behaviorally based management Á Harmonic radar Á Invasive species Á Pheromone Á Hemiptera Á Pentatomidae Key messages• Halyomorpha halys management relies on repeated insecticide applications to susceptible crops. • We evaluated the behavioral basis for a proposed attract-and-kill strategy in apple as a means to reduce insecticide inputs. • We found that attract-and-kill holds promise as H. halys activity was confined to a small arrestment area around a pheromone source, and the use of harmonic radar showed that retention time at these sites was greatest when a host plant (apple) was present. • High kill of H. halys was achieved in baited attract-andkill apple trees season-long with minimal damage on adjacent unbaited trees.
