The effect of noise on sexual behaviour of the southern green stink bug Nezara viridula
Stink bugs of the pentatomid family communicate using substrate-borne vibrational signals transmitted through host plants. Specific signal length and repetition rate are critical for mate recognition and are susceptible to masking by simultaneous conspecific and congeneric signals. We tested whether overlapping conspecific signals interrupt Nezara viridula (L.) sexual behaviour with playback of...
متن کاملPopulation structure of the Brazilian southern green stink bug, Nezara viridula
The Southern Green Stink Bug, Nezara viridula (L.) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae), is a cosmopolitan and economically important pest to several crops. Studies on N. viridula migration and population structure have been neglected. We studied geographically distinct Brazilian N. viridula populations to assess their variability and to determine gene flow among them. DNA from specimens collected on so...
متن کاملToxicity of Chromobacterium subtsugae to southern green stink bug (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) and corn rootworm (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae).
Diabrotica spp. (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) beetles and southern green stink bugs, Nezara viridula (L.) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae), are pests on corn, Zea mays L., and soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr., as well as on cucurbits. Control of these insects has depended on chemicals. An alternative to chemical control is the use of biologicals. Use of bacteria, fungi, viruses, pheromones, and metabol...
متن کاملRice Stink Bug Control in Large-Plot Trials
Eleven large-plot trials were located across nine counties in eastern Arkansas to evaluate the efficacy of select insecticides on the rice stink bug. Lambda-cyhalothrin, zeta-cypermethrin, methyl parathion, and carbaryl achieved initial control. However, only lambda-cyhalothrin and zeta-cypermethrin maintained significantly lower counts of the rice stink bug at 14 days after treatment (DAT). La...
متن کاملDistinct properties of proteases and nucleases in the gut, salivary gland and saliva of southern green stink bug, Nezara viridula
Stink bugs negatively impact numerous plant species of agricultural and horticultural importance. While efforts to develop effective control measures are underway, the unique digestive physiology of these pests presents a significant hurdle for either protein- or nucleotide-based management options. Here we report the comparative biochemical and proteomic characterization of proteases and nucle...
