Stink Bugs in Corn: Biology, Damage and Control

Stink bugs appearing in corn fields can damage seedlings and plants that have entered the reproductive stage. They are more likely to be found, in groups, on plants near field edges and adjacent to non crop areas. Among stink bug species, brown (Euschistus servis), onespotted (Euschistus variolarius), and green stink bugs are the most dominant stink bugs found in corn fields. Knowledge of the insect biology can lead to the selection of appropriate control tools to help protect corn yield potential.
