Stink bugs continue to be problem pests in cotton, especially in the southeastern USA where they are the predominant group of sucking pests important in cotton production.  During 2007, research on treatment thresholds for stink bugs in the Southeast (NC, SC, and GA) using population indices (bolls injured internally by feeding bugs) were tested.
