Predicting Phenology of Four Major Hemipteran Pests to Enhance Integrated Pest Management Programs in Potatoes in the Lower Columbia Basin

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2022
Abstract The potato crop (Solanum tuberosum L.) is affected by various hemipteran insect pests including Circulifer tenellus Baker, Lygus spp., Myzus persicae Sulzer, and Macrosiphum euphorbiae Thomas. These pests can cause direct foliage damage or vector plant pathogens, and consequently reduce potato yield.
