Evaluation of Kudzu Bug as a Pest in Mississippi Soybean Production SystemsMcRight, William Michael 04 May 2018 (has links)
The kudzu bug is an invasive species to the United States, and it has recently become a problem in the southern U.S. Experiments were conducted to examine the potential damage to vegetative stage soybean, with findings suggesting that kudzu bugs pose little threat to vegetative stage soybean in Mississippi soybean production systems. Foliar insecticides are an effective option for management of kudzu bug, however, neonicotinoid seed treatments are not recommended as an effective management strategy. Kudzu bug population densities of nymphs peaked in early August in soybean, and adult densities peaked in late September. This project was designed to develop a better understanding of the damage potential that kudzu bugs can cause as well as the best control methods available.
