A parasitoid wasp, Trissolcus basalis (Wollaston), was recorded parasitizing eggs of the invasive stink bug Halyomorpha halys (Stål) in United States. This is first record this species fresh and frozen H. States.First

A parasitoid wasp, Trissolcus solocis Johnson, was recorded parasitising eggs of the invasive stink bug Halyomorpha halys (Stål), in United States. This is first record this species H. halys.First States and T. Alabama.
Reliable monitoring of the invasive Halyomorpha halys abundance, phenology and geographic distribution is critical for its management. adult nymphal captures on clear sticky traps in black pyramid were compared 18 states across Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, Pacific Northwest Western regions United States. Traps baited with commercial lures containing H. pheromone synergist, deployed at field sites bordering agricultural or urban locations host plants. Nymphal greater than those...
The role of predators and parasitoids in the regulation insect populations is widely reported context both pest non-pest insects.However, this not case for pathogens (entomopathogens).Indeed, most studies on life history refer only to when considering natural enemy guilds, even though naturally occurring entomopathogens are undoubtedly more diverse widespread.This certainly with Coccinellidae; enemies coccinellids have been subject a number review articles but receive brief mention.In we...
Detecting infestations of stink bugs (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) using pheromones remains problematic, particularly so in the United States for exotic bug, Nezara viridula L., and our native Acrosternum hilare (Say). Therefore, we conducted a 2-yr on-farm study to examine attractiveness possible cross-attraction reported N. A. those previously discovered Euschistus servus (Say) Plautia stali Scott viridula, hilare, E. servus. The selected pentatomid tachinid parasitoids was also examined. We...
The invasive brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys, is present in the Piedmont and expanding into Coastal Plains Regions of southeastern US. Consequently, this study was conducted to evaluate parasitism predation H. halys sentinel egg masses by native parasitoids predators woodland habitats orchard, vineyard, row, vegetable crops alongside these Alabama Georgia 2017 2018. Ten primary parasitoid species, including two new records, one hyperparasitoid emerged from eggs. Trissolcus...
Key impediments to increased corn yield and quality in the southeastern US coastal plain region are damage by ear-feeding insects aflatoxin contamination caused infection of Aspergillus flavus. earworm, Helicoverpa zea, fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda, maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais, brown stink bug, Euschistus servus. In 2006 2007, insect were sampled before harvest three 0.4-hectare fields using a grid sampling method. The feeding each ear/kernel-feeding (i.e., earworm/fall armyworm...
Brown stink bug, Euschistus servus (Say) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae), damage on developing corn, Zea mays L., ears was examined in 2005 and 2006 by using eight parameters related to its yield kernel quality. Stink bug infestations were initiated when the corn plants at tasseling (VT), mid-silking (R1), blister (R2) stages zero, three, six or one, two, four bugs per ear 2006, maintained for 9 d. The percentage of discolored kernels affected number both years, but not always plant growth...
We investigated the density of Coleomegilla maculata (DeGeer), predation by C. on Helicoverpa zea (Boddie) eggs, and egg cannibalism when weed Acalypha ostryaefolia Riddell was grown in stands sweet corn ( Zea mays L.). Densities eggs larvae were significantly higher weedy plots than weed-free during each 3 yr study done. Pupal 1995 1996, but not 1997.

Three species of aphids attack pecan foliage, Carya illinoensis (Wang.) K. Koch, and cause economic damage. We tested a kaolin-based particle film against one these aphid species, black aphid, Melanocallis caryaefoliae (Davis). Effect on host selection, adult mortality, production nymphs by M. was seedling pecans in the laboratory. Fewer adults selected treated foliage compared with untreated foliage. A higher percentage that did select were recovered from upper leaf surfaces leaves....
This study assessed the reliability and validity of Velotron Racermate™ cycle ergometer to assess anaerobic power. Men (9 cyclists 13 recreationally-active) women (17 recreationally-active 1 cyclist) (age=24.7±4.2 yr) performed 2 Wingate tests on or 3 (2 Monark Peak Bike) over a 7–14 day period. power, mean minimum fatigue index, heart rate, peak cadence were assessed. Results revealed significant test-retest for power (r=0.90, p<0.01), (r=0.79, p<0.05) (r=0.70, with repeated bouts Velotron....
Pecan scab (caused by Fusicladium effusum) is the most damaging disease of pecan in southeastern United States. Large air-blast sprayers for orchards are used to apply fungicide control but little quantitative information exists on spray coverage achieved canopy these trees. A series experiments using water-sensitive cards record (percent area) at different heights and locations up 15 m trees showed a significantly greater percentage card area covered lowest sample height when compared with...
