Phenology of Lygus lineolaris (Hemiptera: Miridae) in Minnesota June-bearing strawberries: comparison of sampling methods and habitats.

Field studies were conducted in southeastern Minnesota from 2000 to 2002 to determine the phenology of Lygus lineolaris in various habitats and to compare yellow and white sticky traps as a sampling method for adult L. lineolaris. Strawberry fields were sampled for L.

Comparison of economic and plant phenology-based thresholds for management of Lygus lineolaris (Hemiptera: Miridae) in Minnesota strawberries.

Field studies were conducted in southeastern Minnesota, 2000-2002, to assess damage potential and management options for adult Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois) in June-bearing strawberries (Fragaria x ananassa). The first study was designed to assess the efficacy of a published economic threshold for L. lineolaris nymphs compared with a plant phenology-based threshold management program, targeted at L.
