31 Brown Marmorated Stink Bug: An unwelcome new introduction in Eastern Washington State 78 th Okanogan Hort Day Okanogan County AgriPlex, Omak, WA 7 February :30 2 pm Elizabeth H. Beers Tree Fruit Research & Extension Center 1100 N. Western Ave. Wenatchee, Washington

32 Common Washington Stink Bugs Red-shouldered stink bug Green soldier bug Consperse stink bug Chlorochroa spp

33 Along with the native species there is a new player, the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys (Stål). Referred to as the beast in the east the BMSB is an introduced pest. Looks superficially like the consperse stink bug but characters that easily distinguish it. Consperse stink bug Images E. Beers, courtesy 2013 of Dr. Tracy Leskey USDA-ARS

34 Stink Bug ID Common look-alikes (to scale) Brown Marmorated Brochymena sp. Chlorochroa sp. Consperse Solid margin and central spot

35 Adults Identification Banded antennal segment Antennal segment solid-color No teeth along edge of thorax Teeth along edge of thorax Brown Marmorated SB Brochymena sp. (Rough-shield)

36 and now for the acronym Banded Antennae Mega-Bug Smooth Shoulders Banded Body

37 Identification-BMSB Nymphs (5 instars) Red fades with each molt Bands apparent on legs

38 Where is BMSB found? It attacks all tree fruit. Unlike native stink bugs it can complete its life cycle on fruit crops. Images E. Beers, courtesy 2013 of Dr. Tracy Leskey USDA-ARS

41 Current Distribution of BMSB in the United States Stink bugs What are the questions? Severe Agricultural and Nuisance Problems Reported Nuisance Problems Only Detected Image E. Beers, courtesy 2013 of Dr. Tracy Leskey USDA-ARS BMSB IPM Working Group, November 30 th 2011

43 2011 Distribution of Brown Marmorated Stink Bug in Washington Northern distribution Olympia, WA E. Beers, discovery Vancouver, WA Eastern distribution Prindle, WA

44 What tools are available to detect bugs? A black pyramid trap has been determined best for monitoring the BMSB. The aggregation pheromone for BMSB has been tentatively identified and will be tested in WA and OR in Methyl (2E,4E,6Z)- decatrieonate is only attractive to adults during the late-season. Not attractive to adults in early- and mid-season. Image E. Beers, courtesy 2013 of Dr. Tracy Leskey USDA-ARS

45 Captures were significantly greater in traps baited with #10, suspected true pheromone of BMSB 9-30 September 2011 Mean No. Per Trap Traps baited with #10 captured ~15x more than control and ~3-4x more than other treatments. b b b a b 0 #2 #6 #9 #10 Unbaited Treatment Slide E.

48 When are bugs present? BMSB overwinter as adults (as do native stink bugs) Based on experience thus far in OR and in northeastern states with similar climate as the Pacific Northwest, the BMSB is expected to have only one generation in our region. BMSB can complete a life cycle on tree fruit crops, therefore, adults and nymphs may cause injury in May and June if not controlled.

60 Biological Control There are efforts underway to identify and import natural enemies of BMSB from Asia. One source of biological control are egg parasites. These might prove useful in reducing populations in non-crop areas.

61 BMSB in the arid west May take time to spread, time to get established Ecology may be very different in arid shrub-steppe environment Some habitats may support higher levels Biocontrol (imported natural enemies) may be established Chemical control measures refined
