Abstract:
... One of the most economically important pests of cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., in the midsouth region of the United States is the tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois, Hemiptera: Miridae). Tarnished plant bug populations across the region have exhibited widespread resistance to numerous insecticide classes. To minimize late season resistance development, reducing unwarranted ...

Abstract:
... Tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Hemiptera: Miridae), is an economically damaging pest in cotton production systems across the southern United States. We systematically scouted 120 commercial cotton fields across five southeastern states during susceptible growth stages in 2019 and 2020 to investigate sampling optimization and the effect of interface crop and landscape composition on L. line ...
... Twelve isolates of entomopathogenic fungi belonging to Metarhizium robertsii, M. pinghaense, M. brunneum, Beauveria bassiana and Isaria fumosorosea were screened against adult tarnished plant bug (TPB). All isolates were pathogenic, causing mortality from 28.8 ± 3.4 to 96.3 ± 2.7%. The lethal time to 50% mortality (LT50) values ranged from 2.7 to 6.0-d while lethal time 90% mortality (LT90) values ...

Abstract:
... Tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris Palisot de Beauvois (Hemiptera: Miridae), has become a primary pest of cotton in the Midsouthern United States. Insect growth regulators such as novaluron are an important part of L. lineolaris management. While novaluron is lethal to nymphs, it does not kill adults, so it has been used when nymphs are the primary stage present. However, cotton yield protectio ...

Abstract:
... The direct effect of Palmer amaranth, Amaranthus palmeri Watson, on cotton growth and development is well documented, but its indirect effect through harboring feeding insects is less understood. Palmer amaranth emerged with cotton and remaining in the field for 30 days increased tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), populations compared with a weed-free system. Weedy system ...
... The generalist predator Geocoris punctipes (Say) and the parasitoid Peristenus relictus (Ruthe) are Lygus bug natural enemies. Augmentative biological control of some Lygus species has been attempted using either the predatory bug, or the parasitoid, but never in combination. In the present study, in laboratory assays, we determined whether G. punctipes engaged in intra-guild predation of P. relic ...

Abstract:
... The tarnished plant bug (Lygus lineolaris Palisot de Beauvois) is the dominant insect pest of cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) in the Mid-South Cotton Belt. This is partly due to the fact that this pest has developed resistance to most insecticides used for control. Laboratory experiments were conducted during 2014 and 2015 to study the behavioral response of tarnished plant bug nymphs to several cl ...

GP‐1097, PI 697031) are conventional cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) germplasm lines released by the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station in December 2020. Both lines were derived from crossing ‘UA48’ and ‘UA222’. They produced higher lint yields than their parents over 5 yr and at four test sites in Arkansas. Both produced ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Effective, safe and practical biocontrol options are greatly needed for combating Lygus lineolaris on protected culture strawberry. This study demonstrated how ultaviolet (UV)‐selective plastics can improve the efficacy of the fungal biocontrol agent Beauveria bassiana (Mycotrol) compared to the conventional insecticide acetamiprid (Assail) against L. lineolaris on low tunnel strawberr ...

Abstract:
... The tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), is an important insect pest in cotton that feeds on reproductive fruit, contributing to yield loss. Economically damaging infestations of L. lineolaris have doubled in Virginia since 2013. Escalation of L. lineolaris abundance may increase Fusarium hardlock disease observed in this region, compounding economic losses. Research has li ...
... Host plant preference of agricultural pests may shift throughout the growing season allowing the pests to persist on wild hosts when crops are not available. Lygus Hahn bugs are severe pests of cotton during flowering and fruiting stages but can persist on alternative crops or on weed species. Diversity of digestive enzymes produced by salivary glands and gut tissues play a pivotal role in an orga ...

Abstract:
... The tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), is an important pest of cotton in many areas of the southern United States. An experiment was conducted at two locations in Mississippi during 2016 and 2017 to evaluate action thresholds for tarnished plant bug on a novel Bacillus thuringiensis cotton that expresses the Cry51Aa2.834_16 toxin. Treatments included the current action th ...

... Crop production sequences influence arthropod populations in temporally unstable row crop systems. Winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) represents one of the earliest abundant crops in south‐eastern United States. This study aims to understand primary source habitats driving brown stink bug, Euschistus servus (Say), and tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), population abundan ...

Abstract:
... While growing strawberries under plastic low tunnels is an increasing trend in the northeastern U.S., the effect of low tunnels on the incidence and severity of arthropod pests, pathogens, and weeds is largely unknown and presents a possible barrier to commercial adoption. During 2018 and 2019, we identified and quantified pest abundance on low tunnel versus open field grown strawberries at a rese ...
... Arkot 0822 (Reg. no. GP‐1088, PI 697030) is a conventional cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) germplasm line that was released by the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station in October 2020. In 2008, ‘UA48’ was crossed with Arkot 0016 with the goal of developing lines having fiber quality of UA48 but with improved yields and broadened adaptation. Arkot 0822 is a sister line to ‘UA248’. Over 5 yr of A ...

... Thrips (Thysanoptera:Thripidae) and tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Hemiptera: Miridae), are among the most important insect pests of cotton, Gosssypium hirsutum, in the mid-southern United States. These pests are currently managed primarily by insecticides; however, a new Bt toxin, Cry51Aa2.834_16 is under evaluation for control of thrips and tarnished plant bug. Experiments were conducted ...

Abstract:
... Economically damaging infestations of Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), tarnished plant bug, were sporadic in Virginia and North Carolina cotton before 2010. Given the sudden rise of L. lineolaris as an economic pest in these states, regionally specific management practices (i.e., chemical and cultural control) are needed to help producers protect yield potential while minimizing input costs ...

... Cotton host plant resistance research was initiated as a new area of research with the establishment of the USDA-ARS Boll Weevil Research Laboratory, adjacent to Mississippi State University in 1960. The objective of the new laboratory was to conduct research and develop technology that could ultimately be used to eradicate the boll weevil, as an economic pest. Early research concentrated on devel ...
