Murgantia histrionica (Hahn): new trapping tactics and insights on overwintering survival
Harlequin bugs are orange and black aggregation pheromone emitting stink bug pests, specifically of cole crops such as kale, broccoli and collards. This nearly loyal crop preference makes an interesting challenge for trapping them and helping farmers predict pest severity. Harlequin bugs can be …

Role of trap crops on harlequin bug, Murgantia histrionica (Hahn), population dynamics and parasitism in broccoli plots
… a partial third generation a year. Trissolcus murgantiae Ashmead and Ooencyrtus johnsoni Howard, were identified as egg parasitoids. Their combined parasitization levels for the two years were 8% and 37%. T. murgantiae accounted for 87% and 96% of the parasitization, respectively.. When 19.6 cm …

Investigating host plant selection of harlequin bug, Murgantia histrionica (Hahn), in order to improve a trap cropping system for its management
Harlequin bug (HB), Murgantia histrionica (Hahn), is a pest of cole crops. Alternative control strategies were investigated for control of HB, including trap cropping and systemic neonicotinoid insecticide applications. Potential trap crops, mustard (Brassica juncea "Southern Giant Curled" ), …

Identification and Functional Characterization of Sesquiterpene Pheromone Biosynthetic Genes in Stink Bugs (Pentatomidae)
The stink bugs, (Pentatomidae) harlequin bug (Murgantia histrionica), brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys), and southern green stink bug (Nezara viridula) are significant agricultural pests both in the United States and globally. The aggregation or sex pheromones produced by these insects …

Aggregation Pheromone Biosynthesis and Engineering in Plants for Stinkbug Pest Management
… for pest management. The harlequin bug, Murgantia histrionica, a specialist pest on crucifer crops, produces the sesquiterpene, murgantiol, as a male-specific aggregation pheromone. Similarly, the southern green stink bug, Nezara viridula, a generalist pest worldwide on soybean and other …
