Using Autumnal Trap Crops to Manage Tarnished Plant Bugs (Lygus lineolaris)

Francois Dumont et al.

Summary: The study found that mullein plants as autumnal trap crops are highly attractive to tarnished plant bugs, and when combined with insecticide treatments, can effectively reduce the overwintering survival rate of the pests, potentially decreasing their population in the following growing season.

Examining potential intra-guild predation of Peristenus relictus by Geocoris punctipes , and its effects on the biological control of Lygus lineolaris

Nadia S. Gomez-Dominguez et al.

Summary: The generalist predator Geocoris punctipes preys on nymphs of Lygus lineolaris, showing preference for nymphs containing Peristenus relictus eggs, and simultaneous release of Geocoris punctipes and Peristenus relictus achieves an additive effect on the mortality of Lygus lineolaris nymphs.
