Control of the Tarnished Plant Bug at the Carters Nursery

Harry C. Bryan

Open publisher page 2 citations

Abstract

The tarnished plant bug (Lygus lineolaris Palisot de Beauvois) is a relatively new pest in southern pine nurseries. Injury from feeding can cause southern pine seedlings to form multiple stems. Trapping studies and visual observations indicate that newly emerged seedlings are very susceptible to injury. Injury can be reduced by timely applications of certain insecticides. Tree Planters' Notes 40(4) 30-33; 1989.
