A study was conducted in 2018 at the Delta Research and Extension Center to determine the impact of simulated brown stink bug damage on early vegetative stage corn (V1, V2, and V3).  Different levels of damage were applied to determine how many damaged plants it would take to impact yield.  Another study was conducted in four fields across the Delta to evaluate different levels of natural infestation damage on yield.
