We characterized the oviposition behavior of C. signatus, a relatively new plant bug pest of South Texas cotton, on okra-leaf ‘FiberMax 832’ (FM832) and a conventional ‘Stoneville 474” (SV474) genotypes that differ significantly in the architectural structure of the cotton plant.  In a no-choice study, the oviposition site preference and numbers of eggs oviposited by C. signatus was almost identical for the FM832 and SV474.  In a free-choice test, C. signatus oviposited three times the number of eggs on SV474 as compared to the FM832, but the site preference and distribution of eggs was similar for the two cotton types. The most preferred site for C. signatus to ovipost eggs was in the leaf petiole tissue, followed by the main stem, and fruiting structures. The majority of eggs are oviposited on the leaf petioles associated with nodes on the mid-portion of the plant. This oviposition behavior of C. signatus differs from Lygus lineolaris and Lygus hesperus reported as pests of cotton. The latter 2 species prefer to oviposit in the upper portion of the cotton canopy and on the distal portion or pulvinus of the leaf petiole. This information should increase the knowledge for scouting for the presence of eggs and young nymphs, and may help in the selection of cotton varieties when managing for this pest in cotton.
