“…However, Reeves et al (2010) and our results showed woodlands to be a source of stink bugs in cotton at woodland edges. Olson et al (2012) also found no edge effects for C. hilaris in soybean adjacent to woodlands, but Miner (1966) consistently found heaviest infestations of this pest in soybean on border rows next to woodlands. The differences in these studies are probably due to differences in distances from field edges used in examining edge effects.…”

“…Thus, the distances colonizing stink bugs entered interface edges in our study were within previously observed ranges for stink bugs in other studies/crops. Olson et al (2012) set a 31 m field edge for examining edge effects in corn, peanut, and cotton. Previously, Reay- determined that sampling stink bugs 32 m from cotton field edges lacked the precision needed to quantify edge effects in this crop.…”

Stink bugs (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae), including Nezara viridula (L.), Euschistus servus (Say), and Chinavia hilaris (Say), are economic pests in farmscapes where they move within and between closely associated crop and non-crop habitats. Thus, field edges in these farmscapes include not only crop-to-crop interfaces but also those edges adjoining non-crop habitats. We examined the influence of field edges on colonization of stink bugs in southeastern USA farmscapes composed of typical combinations of corn, peanut, and cotton. For E. servus and N. viridula, egg-to-adult development and presence of both sexes on all crops indicated that the crops served as reproductive plants. Adult C. hilaris were rarely found on corn and on crops associated with it, and they were present mainly in cotton in peanut-cotton farmscapes. Mature crop height was significantly higher for corn than for cotton and significantly higher for cotton over peanut, and an edge effect in dispersal of stink bugs into a crop was detected up to 4.6, 8.2, and 14.6 m from the crop-to-crop interface in corn, cotton, and peanut, respectively. These results suggest that stink bug dispersal into a crop decreases as crop height increases. The first stink bug-infested crop at the crop-to-crop interface was the most significant contributor of colonizing stink bugs to an adjacent crop. An edge effect in dispersal of stink bug adults was detected in corn next to non-woodlands and woodlands and in cotton adjacent to woodlands. Edge effects were never detected in side edges of peanut. Overall, our results indicate that both plant height and host plant suitability can influence edge-mediated dispersal of stink bugs at field edges.

“…When stink bugs disperse from one crop to another, they aggregate at field borders. Therefore, there is a pronounced edge effect observed in the distribution of stink bugs as they colonize a new crop (Zalom et al 1997, Espino et al 2008, Reay-Jones 2010Olson et al 2012, Reisig et al 2013.…”

Recently, the Neotropical brown stink bug, Euschistus heros (Pentatomidae: Hemiptera), has been detected in cotton in the Brazilian Cerrado. Several reliable surveys have been conducted on the spatial distribution of stink bugs in soybean; however, few studies have examined the behavior of this insect in cotton in Brazil. Thus, this study examined the spatial distribution of E. heros in cotton using aggregation indices based on the variance-to-mean ratio, Morisita index, exponent k, Poisson and negative binomial distributions. Inverse Distance Weighting interpolation maps were also used to represent insect density. The study was conducted in a 1.1 hectare experimental cotton field in which 64 equally-sized plots were sampled on a weekly basis. Our findings revealed that stink bugs presented an aggregate distribution in 2 sampling weeks based on aggregation indices, and this pattern was best described by a negative binomial distribution. Maps showing the density of pests can be an important tool for sampling pests in crops and control measures in early stages of infestation, when there is an edge effect on the distribution of E. heros, can be an efficient strategy in cotton.

“…The density of stink bug species can be higher in crops that are closely associated with woodland habitats than in crops further from these habitats (Mundinger and Chapman 1932, Reay-Jones 2010, Reeves et al 2010, Olson et al 2012, Tillman et al 2014, Venugopal et al 2014).

Chinavia hilaris (Say), Euschistus servus (Say), Euschistus tristigmus (Say), and Thyanta custator custator (F.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) are serious pests of crops in the southeastern United States but little is known concerning their dispersal from noncrop hosts in woodlands into crops. This 2-yr study was conducted to investigate whether elderberry [Sambucus nigra subsp. canadensis (L.) R. Bolli] in woodlands serves as a source of stink bugs dispersing into adjacent crops and to examine parasitism of C. hilaris and E. servus eggs on this plant. Elderberry was a reproductive host for each of the four stink bug species; females oviposited on plants with subsequent nymphs feeding on elderberry and developing into adults. Anastatus mirabilis (Walsh & Riley) (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae), Anastatus reduvii (Howard), and Trissolcus edessae Fouts (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) were prevalent egg parasitoids of C. hilaris but A. reduvii was the prevalent parasitoid of E. servus. Newly developed stink bug adults were first detected on elderberry around mid-July. Then in late July and early August, as elderberry fruit senesced and cotton bolls became available, stink bugs began dispersing from elderberry into cotton based on recapture of stink bugs on cotton that had previously been marked on elderberry. In addition, in 2015, density of C. hilaris, E. servus, and E. tristigmus was higher in cotton with elderberry than in cotton without it. Over the study, economic threshold was reached for four of seven cotton fields. Elimination of elderberry in woodlands adjacent to cotton may be a viable management tactic for control of stink bugs in cotton.
