New 'Focus on Corn' webcast takes the 'stink' out of early season stink bug damage


St. Paul, Minnesota, USA
June 24, 2015

Stink bugs can attack corn at almost any time, causing all kinds of plant injury damage, even at earlier stages of growth.

A new Focus on Corn webcast by Ric Bessin, Extension Entomologist at the University of Kentucky, emphasizes the importance of stink bug scouting early in the growing season.

The talk, titled “Stink Bug Management: It Pays to Scout Corn Seedlings” specifically helps viewers:

  • Identify the various “cryptic” insects that can damage corn at early stages of growth
  • Distinguish stink bug damage from that of other early-season corn pests
  • Thresholds for treatment
  • Early season management recommendations

By the end of this presentation, growers, consultants, and other practitioners in the corn industry will also know how to minimize costs and maximize returns for stink bug control, particularly early in the season.

This 11-minute presentation is open access through July 31, 2015.

These and other Focus on Corn presentations can be viewed at www.plantmanagementnetwork.org/foc.

Webcasts on a variety of other crops can be found in PMN’s Education Center.
