“…Berg et al [67] who investigated the border habitat effect on H. halys population density in apple and peach orchards, found that non-managed woodland borders contributed the most to population abundance in orchards, while adjacent orchards also contributed substantially to captures and fruit injury at harvest. In general, our findings are also consistent with the results of Tamburini et al [48], who established landscape composition as a key factor driving the dynamics of H. halys in agroecosystems. Their study found that landscape composition influenced the abundance of trapped H. halys in fruit orchards.…”

“…As landscape patterns in agroecosystems can vary in space and time, this can be reflected by altered distribution and pest abundance [40]. In recent years, many studies have contributed to a better understanding of the H. halys biology and ecology [41][42][43][44][45], its natural enemies and its movement between different crops, landscapes and adjacent habitats [46][47][48], which has led to the development of behaviour-based integrated pest management (IPM) tactics [49].…”

The invasive Halyomorpha halys is a serious pest for several fruit trees, causing millions of dollars of crop damage every year across the world’s major fruit-growing regions. Once established in an orchard, H. halys quickly becomes the predominant stink bug species and is a major season-long pest. Annual increases in the population size of H. halys have resulted in increased pest pressure and a growing risk of severe crop damage. Reliable monitoring is indispensable for H. halys control and management, providing comprehensive information on the seasonality of pest population dynamics, abundance, and interaction with the environment, and is essential for the successful implementation of integrated pest management (IPM) strategies to prevent crop damage. Our study followed the seasonal population dynamics of H. halys in three apple orchards in the Goriška region of western Slovenia over the period 2019–2021. Pherocon® Dual Panel Adhesive Traps (Trece Inc.) and pyramidal Rescue® Stink Bug Traps, both baited with Trécé lures (two-component H. halys aggregation pheromone + pheromone synergist), were used to monitor H. halys adults and nymphs weekly from late March to the end of November. Captures taken with both types of trap clearly describe the seasonal dynamics of H. halys, with the first occurrence of overwintering adults in April and May, and with two peak occurrences in adults, in the middle of summer and in the beginning of autumn, corresponding to the appearance of two generations per year in the study area. The growing trap captures observed during the 3-year monitoring period suggest that H. halys was only recently introduced to the area and that natural enemies have not yet been fully recruited. Pyramid traps captured significantly more adults and nymphs than clear sticky traps and provided accurate monitoring of H. halys life stages throughout the season. Regardless of the lower trap catches of adults and juveniles, clear sticky traps clearly displayed H. halys seasonal dynamics pattern. Therefore, their use is recommended as an early detection tool in areas where pests are not yet present, or in areas with small H. halys populations. Halyomorpha halys adult trap captures were higher in Šempeter orchards, within areas of great landscape diversity and a large share of urban land. The seasonal dynamics of H. halys over the 3-year period were closely related to weather conditions, with temperature and relative humidity as the major factors affecting population growth.

“…Certainly, agricultural landscapes in the Mid‐Atlantic states are often composed of a mosaic of row crops such as soybean and corn, tree fruit orchards, woodlands, and human‐ made structures. Similar observations have been made in northern Italy with specific habitat compositions driving BMSB population dynamics 54 . Therefore, spatially‐limited management strategies for BMSB within specific crops have been developed and evaluated extensively; these include border sprays in peaches, 34 apples, 36,55 and soybeans, 33 and attract‐and‐kill in apple 35,55,56 .…”

BACKGROUNDBrown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys (Stål), is an invasive and severe pest of specialty and row crops. A two‐year field study conducted in four Mid‐Atlantic states in the USA characterized the spatial and temporal dynamics of BMSB populations and its association with landscape elements in commercial agriculture settings. In each state, two 1‐km2 sites included typical landscape elements (i.e., tree fruit orchards, annual field and vegetable crops, woodlands, and human‐made structures). Twenty‐seven georeferenced pheromone traps were deployed per site and the number of BMSB adults and nymphs captured was counted throughout the growing season.RESULTSFindings from spatial analysis by distance indices (SADIE), along with time‐series maps of BMSB distribution, showed that BMSB exhibited significant spatial aggregation, and that its distribution was spatially consistent between years. Analyses with geographic information systems (GIS) revealed that BMSB “hot spots” occurred in different landscape elements throughout each season. Most patches (i.e., clusters of significantly higher trap captures) were found near woodlands early in the season, near tree fruit orchards in summer, and on the border of annual field crops in autumn. Buffer analysis with GIS indicated that more BMSB adults were captured closer to woodlands compared with other landscape elements.CONCLUSIONUnderstanding the spatial and temporal movement and distribution of BMSB is critical to predicting their potential impact and ultimately devising strategies to mitigate this risk to vulnerable crops. The results of this study can be used to design streamlined, spatially‐based areawide management of BMSB in heterogeneous and complex agricultural landscapes.This article is protected by copyright.

“…[3][4][5][6] The colonization and damage to crops are notably influenced by habitat composition in this context. 7 Despite being able to feed on various plant organs like leaves, twigs, and trunks, [8][9][10] the main damage caused by H. halys feeding concerns the fruiting structures. 2,4,11,12 Brown marmorated stink bug injury also depends on crop type and plant phenology and often leads to the deformation of the fruit-making them unmarketable-and to a reduction of the yield.…”

BACKGROUNDThe brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is a significant threat to crop production. Alternatives to synthetic pesticides are needed for its management. Here we investigated the effect of sulphur on H. halys. Experiments were performed to evaluate both mortality and deterrence/repellence of H. halys following sulphur treatments in laboratory and semi‐field conditions.RESULTSBrown marmorated stink bug mortality was not influenced by sulphur applications. However, in two‐choice experiments in insect cages and olfactometer, more H. halys adults moved toward the untreated control rather than the sulphur‐treated food sources, with a high effect as the concentration increased. A semi‐field experiment using potted apple plants confirmed the results observed in the laboratory, showing a deterrent and/or repellent effect of sulphur‐based products on H. halys.CONCLUSIONSSulphur applications were associated with a deterrent/repellent effect on the brown marmorated stink bug. The use of sulphur‐based products could represent a promising tool for Integrated Pest Management strategies against H. halys in fruit crops.This article is protected by copyright.
