“…The clear dominance and high abundance of BMSB nymphs (and exuviae) present and the severe feeding damage recorded in the two crops confirm the results of previous studies (e.g. 25, 29,31,32) that bean and pepper are major hosts of BMSB.…”

“…28,29,30,31,32,33). Beans (in particular Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and peppers (Capsicum annuum L.), the plants being in the focus of our survey, have been shown to be attractive hosts of the stink bug species (23,25,29,30,31,32,33). Symptoms of damage differ according to the plant species affected, and these have been described and illustrated by Kuhar et al (29) and Rice et al (25).…”

“…Several vegetables have already been identified as being at a risk of heavy infestation by the pest, but the significance of BMSB in this group of crops seems to have been studied less so far (e.g. 28,29,30,31,32,33). Beans (in particular Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and peppers (Capsicum annuum L.), the plants being in the focus of our survey, have been shown to be attractive hosts of the stink bug species (23,25,29,30,31,32,33).…”

“…The extent of BMSB damage and risk to vegetables has not been fully determined. Based on observations and initial research from the mid-Atlantic USA region, this pest will feed on and cause severe damage to a number of vegetables when densities are high (Kuhar et al 2012). Sweet corn (Zea mays) appears to be a strongly preferred host crop, on which numerous nymphs and adults have been observed on a single ear and nearly 100% damage has been recorded in fields ( Figure 6).…”

Since its initial discovery in Allentown, PA, USA, the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) has now officially has been detected in 38 states and the District of Columbia in the USA. Isolated populations also exist in Switzerland and Canada. This Asian species quickly became a major nuisance pest in the mid-Atlantic USA region due to its overwintering behavior of entering structures. BMSB has an extremely wide host range in both its native home and invaded countries where it feeds on numerous tree fruits, vegetables, field crops, ornamental plants, and native vegetation. In 2010, populations exploded causing severe crop losses to apples, peaches, sweet corn, peppers, tomatoes and row crops such as field corn and soybeans in several midAtlantic states. Damaging populations were detected in vineyards, small fruit and ornamentals. Researchers are collaborating to develop management solutions that will complement current integrated pest management programs. This article summarizes the current pest status and strategies being developed to manage BMSB in the USA.

“…Although no population density estimates for this pest have been found, Inkley found that more than 26,000 of these pests were collected in one home in Maryland over a period of 181 days (Inkley, 2012). Kuhlar et al found as many as 20 adult or nymph H. halys on a single ear of sweet corn (Kuhar et al, 2012). With the passing of the Food Quality and Protection Act in 1996, broadspectrum insecticides, which previously were successful in combating native stink bug populations, have been regulated such that they are not effective in controlling H. halys (Leskey et al, 2012b).…”

The formation of aerosols is a key component in understanding cloud formation in the context of radiative forcings and global climate modeling. Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) are a significant source of aerosols, yet there is still much to be learned about their structures, sources, and interactions. The aims of this project were to identify the BVOCs found in the defense chemicals of the brown marmorated stink bug Halymorpha halys and quantify them using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and test whether oxidation of these compounds by ozone-promoted aerosol and cloud seed formation. The bugs were tested under two conditions: agitation by asphyxiation and direct glandular exposure. Tridecane, 2(5H)-furanone 5-ethyl, and (E)-2-decenal were identified as the three most abundant compounds. H. halys were also tested in the agitated condition in a smog chamber. It was found that in the presence of 100-180 ppm ozone, secondary aerosols do form. A scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS) and a cloud condensation nuclei counter (CCNC) were used to characterize the secondary aerosols that formed. This reaction resulted in 0.23 µg/ bug of particulate mass. It was also found that these secondary organic aerosol particles could act as cloud condensation nuclei. At a supersaturation of 1%, we found a kappa value of 0.09. Once regional populations of these stink bugs stablilize and the populations estimates can be made, the additional impacts of their contribution to regional air quality can be calculated.Implications: Halymorpha halys (brown marmorated stink bugs) are a relatively new invasive species introduced in the United States near Allentown, Pennsylvania. The authors chemically speciated the bugs' defense pheromones and found that tridecane, 5-ethyl-2(5H)-furanone, and (E)-2-decenal dominated their emissions. Their defense emissions were reacted with atmospherically relevant concentrations of ozone and resulted in 0.23 mg of particulate matter per emission per bug. Due to the large population of these bugs in some regions, these emissions could contribute appreciably to a region's PM 2.5 (particulate matter with an aerodynamic diameter 2.5 mm) levels.
