Stink bug populations were sampled in farmscapes where cotton was bordered by corn, peanut, or soybeans. The objectives of this experiment were to assess stink bug distribution (spatial and temporal) and reproductive capacity within all four crops throughout the growing season. Results are important for stink bug management in agroecosystems that contain cotton fields that share a border with corn, soybean, or peanut.
