Emfinger Southern green stink bug (SGSB): Nezara viridula (L.) Brown stink bug (BSB): Euschistus servus (Say) Neonicotinoid insecticides were applied to corn seed and evaluated against BSB and SGSB in a field microplot study at the Macon Ridge Research Station (Franklin Parish). Appropriate amounts of each insecticide were diluted in water and applied to corn seed in a zippered plastic bag. The mixture was shaken vigorously until the insecticide completely coated each seed. Seed were placed on a flat surface to dry for approximately 30 min. Seed treatments were arranged in a RCBdesign with three replications. Microplots were established on 20 May by pressing a metal template (containing 50, 1.5-inch cylinders in length) onto a prepared seedbed. Individual seed were placed into holes in the soil constructed by the template and covered with soil. Each microplot was thinned to 20 plants following >95% emergence. Stink bugs (one BSB or SGSB adult/plant) were TI - EVALUATION OF SEED TREATMENTS AGAINST STINK BUGS ON CORN SEEDLINGS, 2003.
