Managing Stink Bugs

Ethylene Production by Albedo Tissue of Satsuma Mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marc.) Fruit.

Isolated albedo tissue of Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu Marcovitch, cv. Owari) fruit produced a large quantity of ethylene during incubation at 26 C in the dark. When sliced, albedo tissue began producing ethylene at an increasing rate until a maximum was reached after incubation for about 30 hours. Aged albedo discs which were capable of producing ethylene, actively converted l-[U-(14)C]meth...

Evaluation of damage to satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu) by the leaffooted bug, Leptoglossus zonatus (Hemiptera: Coreidae)

Satsuma mandarin, Citrus unshiu Marcovitch, has been grown for over a century in the Gulf Coast region of the United States (English and Turnipseed 1940). However, the last decade has recorded a major increase in the production of this crop in southern Alabama, fuelled by improved production and tree protection methods and strong industry and state support (Campbell et al. 2004). Studies have i...

Treatment Thresholds for Stink Bugs , 2003

Predominant phytophagous (plant-feeding) stink bugs in the southeast and much of the mid-South are similar and include the green stink bug, Acrosternum hilare (Say), the southern green stink-bug, Nezara viridula (L.), and the brown stink bug, Euschistus servus (Say). Several other species are part of the plantfeeding stink bug complex but are of less importance. Stink bugs will become more impo...

The Effect of Rootstocks on the Peel Phenolic Compounds of Satsuma mandarin (Citrus unshiu)

The aim of this study was to determine total flavonoids and individually flavanone glycosides as well as antioxidant capacity in peel of Satsuma mandarin(Citrus unshiu) on different rootstocks.  On other hand, the purpose of this study was to identify the rootstock that could produce the highest amount of flavonoids.Total flavonoids content was measured using aluminum chloride colorimetric meth...
