Previously the stink bug Euschistus servus was a major problem in corn, but primarily isolated to corn fields bordering wheat.  After wheat was harvested, E. servus would disperse into and damage neighboring corn fields.  During the past 10 years, the stink bugs E. servus and Nezara viridula have become the most problematic insect pest of corn, and continue to be major pests of soybean and cotton across the southern US.  Also during the past 10 years, these stink bugs have been problematic in corn fields that are not associated with wheat.  This presentation details past, recent, and future studies describing the ecology and management of stink bugs in southern US corn.
