ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

The brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera Pentatomidae), is a significant threat to crop production. Alternatives to synthetic pesticides are needed for its management. Here we investigated the effect of sulphur on H. halys. Experiments were performed to evaluate both mortality and deterrence/repellence of H. halys following sulphur treatments in laboratory and semi-field conditions.

RESULTS:

Brown marmorated stink bug mortality was not influenced by sulphur applications. However, in two-choice experiments in insect cages and olfactometer, more H. halys adults moved toward the untreated control rather than the sulphur-treated food sources, with a high effect as the concentration increased. A semi-field experiment using potted apple plants confirmed the results observed in the laboratory, showing a deterrent and/or repellent effect of sulphur-based products on H. halys.

CONCLUSIONS:

Sulphur applications were associated with a deterrent/repellent effect on the brown marmorated stink bug. The use of sulphur-based products could represent a promising tool for Integrated Pest Management strategies against H. halys in fruit crops. © 2024 The Authors.
