rekordy: Brown marmorated stink bug

Evidence: 100 • authority: 72

The brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) is an insect in the family Pentatomidae, native to China, Japan, Korea, and other Asian regions. In September 1998, it was collected in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where it is believed to have been accidentally introduced. The nymphs and adults of the brown marmorated stink bug feed on over 100 species of plants, including many agricultural crops, and by 2010–11 had become a season-long pest in orchards in the Eastern United States. In 2010, in the Mid-Atlantic United States, $37 million in apple crops were lost, and some stone fruit growers lost more than 90% of their crops. Since the 2010s, the bug has spread to countries such as Georgia and…

Border Habitat Effects on Captures of <i>Halyomorpha halys</i> (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) in Pheromone Traps and Fruit Injury at Harvest in Apple and Peach Orchards in the Mid-Atlantic, USA.. The invasive Halyomorpha halys invades crop fields from various bordering habitats, and its feeding on crops has caused significant economic losses. Thus, H. halys is considered a perimeter-driven threat, and research on alternative management tactics against it has focused on intervention at crop edges. Woodlands adjacent to crop fields contain many hosts of H. halys and are therefore considered "riskiest" in terms of pest pressure and crop injury. However, tree fruit orchards in the Mid-Atlantic, USA,…

Monitoring and Volatile Profiling of Fruit Crops as Host Plants of the Polyphagous Brown Marmorated Stink Bug &lt;i&gt;Halyomorpha halys&lt;/i&gt; (Stål, 1855).. Volatile organic substances (VOCs) emitted by plants play an important role in the recognition and selection of host plants by insects. For polyphagous insects with a broad host range, like the brown marmorated stink bug Halyomorpha halys , not much is known about the plant volatiles that influence host choice. In order to determine which odour stimuli could influence host selection, monitoring was carried out using pheromone traps in orchards with various host plants. The headspace of the phenological stages of plants on which H.…
