Rice Stink Bug Management:
A program in transition
Michael Stout, Bryce Blackman, Jason Hamm & Natalie Hummel
Life Cycle and Biology• Adults begin overwintering in October and
emerge from overwintering in March/April• Populations in spring and early summer build
up on alternate grass hosts
SprangletopSignalgrass
Crabgrass
Barnyard grass
Life Cycle and Biology• Females lay rows of 20-30 eggs • Laid over 900 in lab tests • Eggs turn black as they age
Life Cycle and Biology• Nymphs hatch in 4-11 daysNymphs hatch in 4-11 days• Five instars before adulthoodFive instars before adulthood
Life Cycle and Biology• Adults and nymphs suck fluid from Adults and nymphs suck fluid from
developing grainsdeveloping grains
Economic ImportanceEconomic Importance• Potential for yield lossesPotential for yield losses• Feeding introduces fungi that causes peckFeeding introduces fungi that causes peck• Leads to discoloration and broken kernelsLeads to discoloration and broken kernels• Reduces grade and overall value of grainReduces grade and overall value of grain

Components of a RSB management program
• Scouting and population monitoring• Thresholds for insecticide applications• Insecticide applications• Alternative management tactics
For each component of the RSB management program…
• What is the current practice?• What are the weaknesses of the current
practice?• What are we doing about it?• What should we be doing about it?
Components of a RSB Management Program
• Scouting:
• Thresholds:
• Insecticides:
• Alternatives to insecticides:
Scouting / population monitoringScouting / population monitoring• Begin at 50 – 75% headingBegin at 50 – 75% heading• Sweep net -- 15 inch diameterSweep net -- 15 inch diameter• 180˚ every step, at least 10 sweeps at 10 180˚ every step, at least 10 sweeps at 10
locationslocations
What are the weaknesses of this scouting method?
• Standardization / consistency among samplers
• Labor intensive• How efficient?

• Alternatives to insecticides:
Current Thresholds
• First two weeks of heading: 3 bugs per 10 sweeps (30 per 100)
• After first two weeks: 10 bugs per 10 sweeps (100 per 100)
Potential weaknesses of these thresholds
• Origin of thresholds unknown; has not been updated for 25+ years to account for new varieties, etc
• Thresholds in TX recently increased• Growers satisfied with thresholds, but are
we spraying too much?• Thresholds for different varieties, ratoon?
RSB Cage Study
• 2010- Four replications
• Cages infested with RSB at 50-75% heading
• Cages removed after 11 days
• Plots sprayed biweekly thereafter until grain hardening
RSB Cage Study
• Treatments: 0, 1, 2, 5, or 10 stink bugs per 6.67 sq ft cage
• Corresponds (roughly) to 0.8, 1.6, 4, and 8 x threshold

• Sevin (carbaryl)Sevin (carbaryl)• Neonicotinoids (dinotefuran – Section 18 Neonicotinoids (dinotefuran – Section 18

What are the shortcomings of our current arsenal of insecticides?
• Some options ineffective• Short residual activities• Loss of methyl parathion• Concerns about resistance
EPA has received requests from the registrants to voluntarily cancel all product registrations containing methyl parathion, a restricted use organophosphate insecticide and acaricide used
primarily on cotton, corn, and rice, as well as on other agricultural crops. These requests would terminate the last
methyl parathion products registered for use in the U.S., effective December 31, 2012. End-use products will not be sold after August 31, 2013, and end-use products cannot legally be
used after December 31, 2013.

New alternatives
• Declare, generic pyrethroids• Tenchu (dinotefuran), Section 18 submitted
for Louisiana 2011• Other neonicotinoids and pyrethroid/neonic
mixes• Some of these new products expected to
have longer residual activities, but no evidence for this yet
• Tank mixes with fungicides?

RSB vs Weed Density
RSB Variety Tolerance Trials• 2010- four experiments planted at different
times, each with 4 reps– 1CL 151, 2CL161, 3Cocodrie, 4CL 131
• Top 4 long grain varieties in 2009
– 5Neptune, 6Jupiter (replaced w/ Bengal)
• Medium grain varieties
– 7CLXL723
• Hybrid
– 8Kaybonnet and 9Lagrue
• Displayed tolerance in previous tests
