Managing BMSB

Management by Crop

Download integrated pest management recommendations for brown marmorated stink bug in grapes, orchard crops, small fruit, and vegetables. The guidance documents provide a synopsis of what researchers have learned so far.

Monitoring Tools

Monitoring and trapping of BMSB could form the basis of a cost-effective and safe control program. Yet mass trapping of BMSB has not yet been shown to be an effective control. Trapping can, however, indicate presence of BMSB and need for intervention.

Behavioral and Landscape

Investigating the behavior of BMSB in the landscape may lead to less costly and more sustainable control methods.

Organic BMSB Links

Researchers associated with this project have created resources targeted at organic farmers.

Chemical Controls

Project researchers are working to identify insecticides that effectively control BMSB, so that growers can select materials based on their economic and environmental impacts.
