“…Our study confirms that H. halys populations are in relatively high numbers on A. altissima and other mixed hardwood trees during the early summer (Bakken et al 2015) when soybean is in vegetative stages of growth. As the crop matures into pod and seed development stages, H. halys densities gradually increase at the field edge and have a high tendency to remain on field edges throughout the season.…”

“…Stay green syndrome also appears to be largely associated with field borders. Additional studies have shown that nonmanaged forested areas, in particular, are thought to be important season-long reservoirs for dispersal of H. halys to agricultural crops (Bakken et al 2015). In Virginia, we have observed particularly high densities of H. halys on the invasive tree of heaven, Ailanthus altissima Mill., which has become the most dominant tree species along the edges of forests and roadways in Virginia (McAvoy et al 2012).…”

The invasive brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stå l) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is an important pest of soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.) in the Mid-Atlantic United States. In order to assess the influence of nonmanaged wooded borders on H. halys infestation patterns in soybean, 12 soybean fields in Orange and Madison Counties, VA, were sampled each week from July to October in 2013 or 2014 for H. halys. At each location, five 2-min visual counts of H. halys life stages were made on tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima Mill.) and other favorable host trees along a wooded border, on the adjacent soybean edge, 15 m into the soybean field, and 30 m into the field. Seasonal data showed a clear trend at all locations of H. halys densities building up on A. altissima-dominated wooded borders in July, then, gradually moving into adjacent soybean field edges later in the summer. Halyomorpha halys did not move far from the invading field edge, with approximately half as many bugs being present at 15 m into the field and very few being detected 30 m into the field. These results have implications for continued monitoring and management using field border sprays, particularly on edges adjacent to woods.

“…Despite observations and reports (Bakken et al, 2015) that H. halys egg masses and high nymphal populations are common on A. altissima foliage and female reproductive structures, down traps installed on ailanthus trees in the field captured only 12% of all nymphs recovered.

Halyomorpha halys St al (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) has recently become a major orchard pest in the Mid-Atlantic, USA. Large H. halys populations can develop on wild tree hosts adjacent to orchards, posing an ongoing threat to fruit. Adults and nymphs feed on tree fruit, causing economic injury. Understanding the seasonal patterns of nymphal host use among trees at the orchard-woodland interface may aid the development of integrated pest management strategies for this pest. In laboratory and field experiments, modified versions of published trap designs -'Circle', 'Hanula', 'M&M' (after Moeed & Meads) trapswere compared for their effectiveness for capturing H. halys nymphs walking up and down tree trunks. In the laboratory, second instars were released at the top and bottom of ailanthus (tree of heaven), Ailanthus altissima (Mill.) Swingle (Simaroubaceae), logs and captures were recorded after 24 h. Circle and M&M traps, respectively, were most effective for capturing nymphs walking up and down. In the field, traps were deployed on ailanthus trees next to apple orchards and captures were recorded weekly from 24 July to 11 September 2013. As in the laboratory, Circle and M&M traps captured the greatest number of upward-and downward-walking nymphs. Hanula traps were least effective in both experiments. In the field, 88% of total captures were of nymphs walking up trees. This was at least partially explained by behavioral assays in the laboratory demonstrating that nymphs exhibited negative gravitaxis and positive phototaxis. Stage-specific trends in captures of instars walking up during field sampling were observed. These results suggest that trunk traps can be used to address important ecological questions about seasonal patterns of host use by H. halys nymphs.
