Seven fields across northeast North Carolina were identified having stink bug levels above economic threshold. At each location, two cohorts of bolls were sampled. The first cohort was removed when field reached quarter sized bolls. External and internal feeding and injury symptoms were identified (lesions, warts, damaged seeds, destroyed locks). At the same time the first cohort was collected a second cohort, remaining on the plants, was selected and external feeding symptoms counted. Bolls in the second cohort were tagged and remained in the field until maturity, at the cracked boll stage, when they were collected. Bolls were removed from the field and internal damage was identified and counted. Locks of cotton from cohort two were allowed dried, ginned in a micro-gin in order to determine ginning and lint grade parameters.
