BROWN MARMORATED STINK BUG GET READY FOR 2015

摘要

No one can predict the future of this relatively recent invader, which is now found in 41 states, but all signs point to continued expansion.GROWERS HAD BETTER BE ON THE LOOKOUT for brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), as the pest's population growth shows no sign of diminishing.Just ask Joe Beaudoin, who grows nearly 90 acres of fruits and vegetables in Vancouver, WA, which he sells through his U-Pick operation and a retail outlet, Joe's Place Farms. The city has developed around the farm over the years, making Beaudoin vulnerable to BMSB, which frequently hitchhikes on the nation's roadways.
