Abstract

Interstate rights-of-way may serve as weed host reservoirs for the tarnished plant bug, an insect pest of cotton. Management of these rights-of-way may have an impact upon cotton pest management. In a 3-yr study, time of mowing, frequency of mowing, and sulfometuron methyl applied against overwintering rosettes influenced the cover of annual fleabane and wild carrot, which harbor tarnished plant bugs.
