Vulnerability Of Hybrid Populus Nursery Stock To Injury By The Tarnished Plant Bug, Lygus Lineolaris (Hemiptera: Miridae)

Louis F. Wilson, Lincoln M. Moore

Abstract

The tarnished plant bug injured 21 Populus clones in the clonal nursery of the Packaging Corporation of America in Michigan. Degree of injury ranged from 0.5 to 81.09<. Clone 'Wisconsin 5' sustained the heaviest attack, followed by Imperial Carolina poplar. 'Wisconsin 5' was salvaged by changing the standard and accepting shorter cutting stock for outplanting.
