Brown marmorated stink bug adultEmergence of first generation adults of the brown marmorated stink bug ranges from about 15% (Henderson County) to 67% (Cleveland County) completion in the region. Degree-day accumulations as of 22 August were 810, 1071 and 826 in Henderson, Cleveland and Wilkes Counties. BMSB will be the main focus for the next several weeks.

Oriental fruit moth pheromone trap captures continue to increase in our research plots at the MHCREC. Late-season OFM populations are not unexpected when pyrethroids are not being used for BMSB. Where pyrethroids are being used for BMSB and/or where mating disruption is used, OFM should not be a problem.
