Field evaluation of pesticides of differing mode of action against brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) in primocane-bearing caneberries

Data will be presented on field trials to evaluate pesticides of different modes of action,including the pyrethroids bifenthrin, the organophosphates malathion, the carbamates methomyl, the chlorinated hydrocarbons endosulfan and the neonicotinoids dinotefuran and thiamethoxam, in four selected varieties of primocane bearing caneberries at the beginning of the bloom and when needed. Four replications per treatment will be used in a completely randomized design. Stink bug densities will be presented based on twice weekly counts in treated and control plots. Berry yield data will be presented, following twice weekly sampling during berry ripening period. Injury to drupelets will be discussed based on yield samples in treated and control plots. These results can be used to determine efficacy of different pesticides in primocane- bearing caneberries
