The Bagrada Bug (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae): A New Invasive Pest of Cole Crops in Arizona and California

2010

Palumbo, John C. | Natwick, Eric T.

The authors anticipate that this pest will become permanently established. Development of information on the Bagrada bug's biology and ecology on our local crops will be important for developing pest management recommendations.
