Stink Bugs and Leaffooted Bugs Are Important Fruit, Nut, Seed and Vegetable Pests

Abstract

Stink bugs (Pentatomidae) and leaffooted bugs (Coreidae) are important direct pests of many seed, fruit, vegetable and nut crops. Recently they have become serious pests of cotton because of the reduction in pesticide use resulting from the eradication of the boll weevil and the implementation of genetically-modified cotton.
