Scouting time
Stink bugs are usually only damaging in south-central, central and southeast Kansas during the summer and fall.
Sampling method
Observe the plant canopy for presence of stink bugs. If pods are present, check for shrunken and deformed seeds, which can result from pod feeding.
Thresholds
Controls should be applied when 10 bugs per 30 feet of row are found.
