Sap sucking heteropteran cereal bugs—members of the Eurygaster and Aelia genus—are serious pests wheat. Moreover, they feed on a variety gramineous plant species, including rye, barley, oat, maize, millet. They are widely distributed in European continent. The purpose this review paper is two-fold; it summarizes currently available data biological characteristics, inflicted damage, their distri...

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

Abstract Background The wheat stink bug, Aelia rostrata Boheman (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), is one of the harmful insects that caused significant product losses in cereals due to outbreaks. Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are natural enemies soil insect pests whose effects as a biocontrol agent against many have been demonstrated by laboratories and field/garden studies world. present laborato...

The predatory bug, Orius laevigatus (Fieber, 1860) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae), is an important biological control agent and widely used for augmentative of the western flower thrips, Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande, 1895 (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in greenhouse crops. This bug generally reared using Mediterranean flour moth, Ephestia kuehniella Zeller, 1879 (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). aim this ...

The bug-fix time i.e. the time to fix a bug after the bug was introduced is an important factor for bug related analysis, such as measuring software quality or coordinating development effort during bug triaging. Previous work has proposed many bug-fix time prediction models that use various bug attributes (number of developers who participated in fixing the bug, bug severity, bug-opener’s repu...
