“…As reported by Prokopy et al (1979) for apple orchards and Rancourt et al (2000) for strawberry crop, the adults of L. lineolaris flew at between 40 and 100 cm above the ground in the vineyard. In the present study, most of the L. lineolaris adults were captured flying between these heights.…”

“…When apple orchards are in full bloom they are an attractive food source to overwintered flying adults (Prokopy et al, 1979). This suggests that L. lineolaris adults stayed inside the orchard instead of searching for food in the nearby vineyard.…”

“…In southern Quebec, this pest is successively observed on natural vegetation like white clover (Trifolium pratense) early in the season and goldenrod (Solidago canadensis) late in the season (Boivin & Stewart, 1983). In early spring, overwintered adults move into apple orchards from adjacent woodlands or weedy areas and feed on developing leaves, flower buds and fruitlets under 1 cm in diameter (Prokopy et al, 1979;Boivin et al, 1982). Adults then migrate to weeds in adjacent agroecosystems (Hammer, 1939) or feed on the young and meristematic tissues of crops like grapevines (Vitis vinifera).…”

Abstract. The tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Heteroptera: Miridae), is a highly polyphagous pest that feeds on a broad range of economically important crops in North America. Flying L. lineolaris adults can move from crop to crop rapidly and easily. Little is known about the movement of L. lineolaris in or near vineyards. From May to October 2002 and 2003, 39 white sticky traps were positioned inside and at the periphery of a vineyard to study the movements of tarnished plant bug adults. Tarnished plant bug captures were most numerous from the end of July to mid August, with captures of ca. 3000 individuals in one week. During the vegetative season, most individuals were captured flying in and around the vineyard at a height of between 40 and 60 cm. The frequency with which the weeds were mown affected the numbers of adults captured. At the periphery of the vineyard, tarnished plant bug was more abundant near perennial vegetation, which tends to be stable (an apple orchard, a spruce wood), than in the vineyard where agronomic activities changed the availability of food. The tarnished plant bug adults did not hibernate in the vineyard. It is suggested that appropriate weed management will reduce the abundance of tarnished plant bugs in vineyards as it would deprive them of a number of suitable hosts for feeding and oviposition.

“…On apple trees, overwintered adults begin feeding in the spring from the dormant bud stage to petal fall, and injuries occur on the calyx tube near the base of sepals and petals (Hammer 1939;Prokopy et al 1979). On strawberries, they feed on achenes, and once the receptacle enlarges, they prefer the receptacle.…”

Feeding impact of Lygus lineolaris (Heteroptera: Miridae) on Vitis vinifera: a behavioural and histological study

et al. 2006

Nymphs and adults of the tarnished plant bug (Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois)) feeding on grapevine were videorecorded in the laboratory to determine the short-term impact of feeding punctures at various phenological stages. Feeding behaviour was significantly different between nymphs and adults in the number of punctures but not in the feeding time spent. Observations by light and scanning electron microscopy showed that, from phenological stages B (bud burst) to F (visible cluster), feeding did not cause plant damage and injuries did not impact the meristems, which were coated with viscous or filamentous pectin. During phenological stages H (florets separated) and I (flowering), feeding was restricted to nectar glands, and as there is no functional relationship between nectaries and ovaries, feeding had no impact on normal development of ovaries. In later phenological stages J (berry set) to L (cluster closure, berry touch), most damage was on the pedicels of berries. Pedicels attacked at the next phenological stage show no evidence of injuries. Grapevine appears to tolerate punctual feeding made by this insect; damage is minimal and berry production is not threatened.Résumé : Des nymphes et des adultes de punaise terne (Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois)), se nourrissant sur de la vigne, ont été filmés en laboratoire pour déterminer l'impact à court terme de la prise de nourriture ponctuelle durant divers stades phénologiques. Le comportement nourricier était significativement différent entre les nymphes et les adultes, pour le nombre de perforations, mais pas pour le temps passé lors de chaque piqûre. Les observations en microscopies électronique à balayage et optique montrent que, des stades phénologiques B (bourgeon dans le coton) à F (grappes visibles), les piqûres n'atteignent pas les méristèmes, ces derniers étant enrobés de pectine visqueuse ou filamenteuse. Durant les stades phénologiques H (boutons floraux séparés) et I (floraison), la prise de nourriture était restreinte au disque nectarifère et, comme il n'existe aucune relation fonctionnelle entre les nectaires et l'ovaire, les dommages ne présentaient aucune incidence sur le développement ultérieur du fruit. Des stades phénologiques J (nouaison) à L (fermeture de la grappe), les dommages sont principalement situés sur le pédicelle des baies. Ces pédicelles, attaqués et examinés au stade phénologique suivant, ne montraient aucune trace de blessure. La vigne tolérerait les piqûres ponctuelles faites par cet insecte; les dommages sont minimaux et la production de baies n'est pas réduite.

“…White sticky traps have been used for over 30 yr to monitor L. lineolaris migrating into apple orchards (Prokopy et al 1979(Prokopy et al , 1982. When used in an apple orchard, Prokopy et al (1979) found that, numerically, the nonreßective white sticky traps attracted the most L. lineolaris adults compared with reßective white, yellow, and clear traps.…”

Phenology of <I>Lygus lineolaris</I> (Hemiptera: Miridae) in Minnesota June-Bearing Strawberries: Comparison of Sampling Methods and Habitats

Field studies were conducted in southeastern Minnesota from 2000 to 2002 to determine the phenology of Lygus lineolaris in various habitats and to compare yellow and white sticky traps as a sampling method for adult L. lineolaris. Strawberry fields were sampled for L. lineolaris adults using yellow sticky traps, and nymphs were sampled using the standard white pan beat method. Adult L. lineolaris abundance in alfalfa, an adjacent fence-row, and a wooded habitat were also compared. The nonlinear relationship between cumulative trap catch and cumulative degree-days was modeled with a two-parameter cumulative Weibull function to predict early-season adult capture using yellow sticky traps. Adult L. lineolaris were detected in bearing-year strawberries at the onset of vegetative growth in all years. Yellow sticky traps caught significantly higher densities of adult L. lineolaris than white sticky traps. The Weibull model predicted 50% capture at 10 DD (>12.4 degrees C), which corresponds to the vegetative strawberry growth stage. L. lineolaris nymphs were not detected until the blossom stage. Alfalfa harbored significantly higher densities of L. lineolaris than other habitats during early-season sampling (i.e., March-June). Late-season sampling (July-September) revealed significantly higher densities in bearing-year strawberries. These results suggest that monitoring at the onset of vegetative growth, using yellow sticky traps, will be an efficient method for detecting early L. lineolaris adult activity.
