Host Preference Survey of Stink Bugs on Texas High Plains Cotton, Alfalfa and Prevalent Weeds

Stanley C. Carroll, Megha N. Parajulee, and Mark D. Arnold. Texas Agricultural Experiment Station, 1102 East FM 1294, Lubbock, TX 79403

A host-plant preference survey was conducted during the February to November periods of 2004 and 2005 to determine the seasonal presence of stink bugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) on cotton, alfalfa, plus over 20 prevalent Texas High Plains weed hosts. Stink bug abundance factors discussed will include the identification of key feeding and reproductive hosts, north-south geographical gradient differences, seasonal host sequencing of key hosts, and possible species-specific differences associated with host selection or seasonal abundance.
