“…The strong edge effects observed in this study help explain previous success with using trap crops to manage stink bugs (Tillman 2006). When implemented, trap crops potentially can minimize the movement of stink bugs between crops.…”

“…The results from this and other studies indicate that control of stink bugs will likely be more critical in cotton adjacent to soybean (Bagwell and Sharp 2006) and peanut (Tillman 2006(Tillman , 2008aToews and Shurley 2009) than in cotton near woods, corn, and other cotton Þelds. Toscano and Stern (1976), Zalom et al (1996), andEspino et al (2008) also found greater densities of stink bugs in samples taken nearest the Þeld margin than samples further within the Þeld adjacent to other agronomic crops.…”

“…Many studies address the dispersal and movement of stink bugs within and between different crops and habitats (Zalom et al 1996, Leskey and Hogmire 2005, Tillman 2006, Outward et al 2008, Tillman et al 2009, Toews and Shurley 2009; however, numerous questions remain about the inßuence of adjacent agronomic crops and wild hosts on stink bug movement to, and development along, the margins of cotton Þelds. To address these critical questions, the objectives of this study were to (1) determine the distribution of phytophagous species of stink bugs in cotton edges, (2) examine the distribution of boll injury caused by stink bugs within the same boundaries, and (3) document the inßuence of adjacent crops and uncultivated habitats on the distribution of stink bugs and boll injury in cotton peripheries.…”

The distribution of phytophagous stink bugs and associated boll injury in margins of cotton fields bordering various agronomic crops and woodlands were studied in 2007 and 2008. Two commercial cotton fields, ranging in size from 7.8 to 12.1 ha in Barnwell and Lee Counties, SC, were sampled weekly each year along predetermined transects at 0, 5, 10, and 25 m from the outside margin into the cotton field. Stink bugs were sampled using a ground cloth (0.91 by 0.91 m), and quarter-sized bolls (≈ 2.5 cm in diameter) were collected and examined for internal damage. Density (bugs/row-m) of total stink bugs (adults plus nymphs) was greatest in cotton adjacent to peanut. Boll injury was significantly greater in cotton adjacent to soybean and peanut than in cotton next to other habitats, including corn, cotton, and woodlands, during midseason. Density of nymphs was greatest in cotton adjacent to peanut during mid and late season. Densities of total stink bugs and adults were greatest in cotton immediately adjacent (0 m) to all bordering crops and decreased as distance from the margin increased. Boll injury was greatest in cotton immediately adjacent (0 m) to the bordering crop in mid and late season. Because densities of stink bugs and boll injury vary spatially and temporally along field margins of cotton and can vary significantly based on the adjacent crop, such factors should be considered when developing integrated pest management strategies in cotton.

“…A recent 5-yr study by Tillman (2008) showed that all developmental stages of N. viridula, E. servus, E. quadrator, A. hilare, and Oebalus pugnax (F.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) were present in peanut Þelds at various times during the growing season. Two additional studies exist in the literature documenting N. viridula movement from peanut Þelds directly into cotton Þelds (Tillman 2006, Tillman et al 2009). …”

Crop Juxtaposition Affects Cotton Fiber Quality in Georgia Farmscapes

Phytophagous stink bugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), including green stink bug [Acrosternum hilare (Say)], southern green stink bug [Nezara viridula (L.)], and brown stink bug [Euschistus servus (Say)], have become a serious production issue for southeastern U.S. cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., growers. To investigate how different agronomic crops may affect stink bug damage and fiber quality in neighboring cotton fields, replicated 1.6-2.0-ha trials were planted with corn (Zea mays L.), peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.), and soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] bordering a centrally located cotton plot (each of the four crops composed of approximately 0.4-0.5 ha per trial). Three trials were conducted in 2007 and three additional trials were conducted in 2008. Stink bug damage in the cotton plot was sampled weekly during weeks 3 through 6 of bloom at distances of 0.5, 5.3, 9.6, and 18.7 m from the adjacent crop. At the end of the year, representative lint samples at distances of 0.5, 9.6, 18.7, and 31.8 m from each adjacent crop were mechanically harvested, ginned, and classed. Results show that boll damage, seedcotton yield, gin turnout, fiber color, and lint value were negatively affected when the cotton was located adjacent to peanut and soybean. Regardless of the adjacent crop, there were no differences among yield and fiber quality parameters comparing seedcotton obtained 18.7 m from the plot edge and samples obtained from the middle of the cotton plot (approximately 31.8 m from an adjacent crop). These data suggest that integrated pest management programs for the stink bug complex in cotton may include farmscape level planning and targeted interventions as opposed to a crop specific management approach.

“…Toews and Shurley (2009) observed that cotton grown in close proximity to speciÞc agronomic hosts, for example soybean and peanut, was deleteriously affected by stink bug feeding as quantiÞed by seedcotton yield, gin turnout, lint color, and lint value. Tillman (2006) showed that sorghum could be used as an effective trap crop to protect cotton from stink bugs. To this growing list of cultural practices for managing stink bugs, the authors submit that early planting is an equally import tool.…”

Influence of Planting Date on Stink Bug Injury, Yield, Fiber Quality, and Economic Returns in Georgia Cotton

Phytophagous stink bugs are economically important pests of annual and perennial crops in the southeastern United States. Because of insecticide resistance and risk of secondary pest outbreaks, there is interest in identifying cultural practices that could lead to reduced insecticide applications. The objective of this project was to assess the importance of cotton planting date on stink bug damage to cotton. Unsprayed cotton plots with biweekly planting dates were established at three locations in southern Georgia in each of two crop years. During the bloom cycle, stink bug-induced boll injury was estimated weekly in each plot. Plots were subsequently defoliated, mechanically harvested, and ginned to assess differences in fiber yield and quality attributable to stink bug injury. Results show that the rate of boll damage generally increased more rapidly through the bloom cycle for planting dates in June compared with May. Similarly, estimates of boll damage from June-planted cotton more frequently exceeded the stink bug treatment threshold compared with May-planted cotton. In 2011, mean lint yield and economic returns from May planting dates were significantly greater than June planting dates. In 2012, lint yield and economic returns were greater in plots established in early May compared with later planting dates. Estimates of HVI color + b, a measure of fiber yellowness, were lower in early May-planted cotton compared with June planting. These data show that growers need to be aware of increased stink bug damage potential when planting late.
