Abstract:
... A 3-yr field study quantified the compensatory ability of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) to preflower fruit damage by Lygus hesperus Knight in the Texas High Plains under limited irrigation. Experiments were designed to achieve varying levels of preflower fruit loss by augmenting Lygus bug populations using nymphal bugs reared in a laboratory colony. Treatments included 1) three bugs per plant (3P ...

Abstract:
... Laboratory studies were conducted to obtain basic biological information of Lygus hesperus Knight (Hemiptera: Miridae) on alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.), pigweed (Amaranthus palmeri S. Wats.), Russian thistle (Salsola iberica Sennen and Pau), green bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), artificial diet, and cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) square and cotton boll at 27°C. The nymphal developmental duration was ...
