Stink Bug Species Composition and Relative Abundance of the Redbanded Stink Bug (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) in Soybean in the Upper Gulf Coast Texas

“…It was frequently observed in low numbers in Florida and Georgia in the1980s (Panizzi and Slansky 1985c), but it was never considered as an economic pest of soybeans until the late 1990s. Since its Þrst report in the United States, redbanded stink bug has expanded its distribution from Florida (Menezes 1981) to South Carolina (Jones and Sullivan 1982), Georgia (McPherson et al 1993), Arkansas (Smith et al 2009), Louisiana (Temple et al 2009(Temple et al , 2013, and Missouri (Tindall and Fothergill 2011).…”

Community Composition, Abundance, and Phenology of Stink Bugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) in Soybean in the North Central Region of the United States

“…For example, E. variolarius is the most common species in northern states Pahs 2014, Koch et al 2017), but relatively uncommon in the south (i.e., below 37° N latitude) (McPherson et al 1993, Smith et al 2009, Temple et al 2013. In contrast, C. hilaris is generally more abundant in southern states (Smith et al 2009, Tindall and Fothergill 2011, Temple et al 2013. Northern populations of this species appear to result from semi-migratory populations from southern states (Panizzi et al 2000).…”

“…In the Mid-Atlantic Region, H. halys is well established, and growers report up to 50% yield reduction in soybean due to this pest (Leskey et al 2012). In addition, the red-banded stink bug, Piezodorus guildinii (Westwood) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), an important pest of soybean in the South America, has been detected in Missouri (Tindall and Fothergill 2011) and in many Southeastern U.S. states (Panizzi and Slansky 1985, McPherson et al 1993, Smith et al 2009. Particularly, it became the most abundant stink bug species in soybean in Louisiana (Temple et al 2013) and Texas (Vyavhare et al 2014).…”

Susceptibility of Southern Green Stink Bug and Redbanded Stink Bug to Insecticides in Soybean Field Experiments and Laboratory Bioassays

“…It has been reported in several other states including South Carolina, Georgia, and New Mexico, but had never been considered an economically important soybean pest. Redbanded stink bugs have now reached pest status in soybeans in all states bordering Louisiana and have been reported as far north as Missouri and Tennessee (Stalcup 2007, Catchot 2009, Tindall and Fothergill 2011.…”
