Management programs for the rice stink bug in southern rice-producing states are outdated and inadequate, and there is a need for re-evaluation and revision of all aspects of rice stink bug management. The purpose of this survey was to assess the current status of rice stink bug management practices and document potential changes from 2009-2010. Survey sheets were distributed in Louisiana, Texas, Missouri, Mississippi, and Arkansas. Information on rice water weevil management tactics was also gathered because this insect traditionally causes the greatest damage to Louisiana rice production.
