Non Technical Summary
The brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) is an invasive insect that first appeared as a severe economic pest of specialty crops in the Mid-Atlantic in 2010. It has since spread to 43 states and is now a threat to specialty crops across much of the US. A SCRI CAP (2011-2016) developed chemical control strategies and fundamental biological and ecological information on BMSB. While the chemical control component provided short-term relief for producers, reliance on broad spectrum insecticides have negatively affected non-target organisms and led to secondary pest outbreaks. This project builds upon previous findings, but re-focuses efforts on stakeholder-driven objectives for long-term, sustainable management. The project addresses SCRI goals associated with assressing threasts from pests, and efforts to improve production efficiency. We will improve our knowledge of BMSB risk to crops through enhanced understanding of agroecology and landscape ecology, implement widespread biological control of BMSB with an exotic Asian parasitoid and native natural enemies, and develop management tools and strategies compatible with biological control and informed by risk from landscape factors. We will continue to determine the economic consequences of BMSB damage and how it is reduced by specific management strategies, and deliver science-based information with a robust and diversified outreach program based on the infrastructure developed during the first SCRI project. The new project is national in scope to address the imminent threat of BMSB to specialty crops in regions invaded since 2010 (Southeast, Great Lakes, Pacific Northwest and West), which have unique stakeholders, cropping systems and landscapes.

Goals / Objectives
The goal of this project is to develop environmentally and economically sustainable management programs for BMSB that focus on biological control and management strategies that are informed by landscape level risk and compatible with biological control. This project brings together a national team of experts to achieve this goal. Objectives for this Coordinated Agricultural Project are to:(1) Predict risk from BMSB damage through enhanced understanding of agroecology and landscape ecology;(2) Implement widespread biological control of BMSB, incorporating exotic Asian parasitoids and native natural enemies;(3) Develop management tools and strategies that are compatible with biological control and informed by risk from landscape factors;(4) Determine the economic consequences of BMSB damage and how it is reduced by specific management strategies;(5) Deliver new information on BMSB to stakeholders.
Project Methods
Objective 1: Landscape ecologyOne of our goals is to develop tools that predict where BMSB will establish and to what extent it will develop into a key pest of specialty crops. Proactively identifying areas of greatest risk will allow specialty crop producers to anticipate and manage populations before they reach outbreak levels. Moreover, identifying landscape level factors important in BMSB biology and movement could lead to habitat manipulation strategies to lessen BMSB population abundance in specialty crops. To achieve these goals, we will document where BMSB populations occur across the USA, including areas where it is established and areas where it is invading. We will (1) track populations in specialty crops and alternative hosts and (2) determine which factors mediate population fluctuations. BMSB sampling will be conducted in all 5 years, but GIS mapping will be conducted only during the first four years of this SCRI project. Data from years 1-2 will be used to develop statistical models, while data from years 3-4 will serve for validation, and year 5 sampling will be used to further delineate BMSB distribution in new areas. This information will feed into development of management tools and outreach (Objs. 3, 5).Objective 2: Biological controlBased on similar programs for other invasive species, classical biological control (CBC) is a key strategy for mitigating economically damaging invasive crop pests by permanently suppressing populations over a landscape scale. CBC for BMSB is promising based on the impact of its parasitoids in its native Asian range. A well-adapted Asian parasitoid, such as Trissolcus japonicus, together with a community of native natural enemies, has the potential to suppress BMSB populations.Our goal with this objective is to maximize the impact of predators, parasitoids, and pathogens on BMSB populations. Because of the landscape-level scale in which BMSB occurs, populations of natural enemies in one habitat may also exert influence on BMSB populations in other habitats. Hence, studies of natural enemies cannot be limited only to specialty crops. These studies will provide information needed to successfully incorporate biological control by native and exotic egg parasitoids and generalist predators into sustainable management strategies, leading to reduced economic losses in specialty crops. Laboratory selection of certain native species for improved performance and subsequent mass rearing may also be useful for augmenting populations to increase their impact on BMSB. Field surveys will determine the distribution and value of native and exotic natural enemies and the importance of both groups in suppressing BMSB populations. Bioassays and field experiments will identify behavioral and ecological factors that influence success and impact of natural enemies.Objective 3: Sustainable IPM tacticsResearch across spatial scales has identified BMSB as a landscape-level pest that is highly mobile and utilizes multiple managed and non-managed hosts within agroecosystems. Here, we will exploit the knowledge gained on the landscape-scale ecology of BMSB through this project (Objective 1) and previous research to develop management tactics less dependent on chemical sprays and compatible with our biological control endeavors. These will include 1) studies to optimize trap design for monitoring and surveillance of BMSB, 2) determine relationship between pheromone trap captures and crop injury, 3) identify effective BMSB insecticide use strategies that minimize impacts on natural enemies, 4) improve agroecysystem sustainability through spatially focused management strategies or habitat manipulation, including behaviorally based management and use of trap crops, and 5) integrate IPM tools across landscape factors.Objective 4: Economic AnalysisBMSB causes damage to a wide range of agricultural enterprises including fruits, vegetables, nursery, field, and nut crops. It is an especially large problem in specialty crops because of their greater relative value and the consumer's high expectation for undamaged produce. It is also a pest that invades homes and affects non-agricultural businesses, so it has major economic impacts beyond the farm gate. Assessing the benefits and costs of biological control will require estimation of the costs of research, quarantine, implementation, and management of the rearing and assisted dispersal of imported parasitoids (i.e., T. japonicus). It will also take into account the contributions of native predators, parasitoids, and potential entomopathogens. The benefits of biological control to specialty crop growers will be lower pest management costs, increased yields, and improved quality. To gauge the value of biological control for homeowners (which would also include farm families) and others (including businesses like hotels and restaurants) affected by BMSB, contingent valuation method (also referred to as CVM) surveys will be necessary. In conjunction with Obj.3 participants, we will conduct cost-benefit analyses of on-farm management tactics for BMSB. The goal of the cost-benefit analyses will be to assess the impact of BMSB on specific commodities and compare the cost and benefits of current and improved management strategies, thereby allowing growers to evaluate their commercial potential.Objective 5: Outreach and impact assessmentsThe outreach plan will integrate research findings with input from stakeholders to develop coordinated, real-time, and sustained information delivery systems. Specifically, we will share advances in the development and implementation of effective and innovative tools for BMSB IPM in specialty crops for diverse audiences. Representative regional Stakeholder Advisory Panel (SAP) members will serve on a national SAP to shape and improve our ongoing outreach plan. Guided by an evaluation specialist with the NE IPM Center, the agricultural economist, and collaboration with an NASS statistician we will evaluate local stakeholder-specific needs with tailored surveys. Responses will enable the national team to organize and deliver outreach programs and training sessions that best meet the current needs of all stakeholder audiences. In addition, cross-institutional commodity teams will generate crop-specific information for local to national Extension through print, broadcast, and digital media, utilizing the widely recognized StopBMSB.org website.

Outputs
Target Audience:The project targets a broad audience across the country. Targets include extension educators, commercial specialty crop producers,crop protection industry personnel, university researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, Master Gardners, Master Naturalists, Master Pomologists, Communitiy Science volunteers, and homeowners. Information was disseminated at commodity meetings (live and virtual), master gardener meetings, personal visits to growers, scientific meetings, Extension publications, popular press, peer reviewed scientific meetings, and a national BMSB website, and numerous university pest management websites. Changes/Problems: Nothing Reported What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?During the final year of the project, which was a no-cost extension, training was provided to 12 undergraduate students, 5 graduate students and 4 postdoctoral research scholars. Training was provided in the area of integrated pest management, including the specific disciplines of chemical ecology, biological control, landscape ecology/modeling, and statistics. Graduate students and postdocs also made scientific presentations on their research at professional meetings (e.g., Entomology Society of America branch and national meetings, Western Pest & Disease Conference, and the Cumberland-Shenandoah Fruit Workers Conference in Winchester, VA). Students also made presentations at field day events and commodity meetings. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?The website StopBMSB.org served as a primary dissemination mechanism, which was viewed by >80,000 users between 1 September 2021 and 31 August 2022. All participating institutions also maintain websites with BMSB information specific to their region. Co-PIs in all participating states made presentations at commodity meetings and other extension-supported venues that targeted the growers and supporting organizations (e.g., extension personnel, crop protection industry, and the general public). Research results were disseminated via presentations at remotely scientific conferences and publications in scientific journals. Several PIs made presentations to the general public, which included high schools and local civic organizations. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals? Nothing Reported

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? Objective 1: The spread and distribution of BMSB continued to be followed in California in both urban and agricultural sites. Populations were generally low and restricted to almond and pears in the delta and central interior regions of the state (e.g., San Joaquin County). The large monoculture production systems that lack alternative preferred hosts, and drought conditions leading to high temperatures and dry conditions that have been shown to negatively affect BMSB, has slowed spread of the pest in California. Phenology studies in NC showed that temperature differences affected the phenology and suitability of BMSB in different regions of the state. Cooler temperatures in higher elevation regions of the west were highly conducive to BMSB establishment, while mild winters and hot summers in lower elevations in eastern regions inhibit established. An Invasion risk assessment occupancy model (MAXENT) was developed to identify areas with high suitability for BMB based on presence-only data. Using Generalized Boosted models, results showed that factors driving occurrence of BMSB were different than those driving abundance; proximity to urban areas was the most important variable driving occurrence, while photoperiod and evapotranspiration were most strongly associated with abundance. The model predicted future establishment of BMSB using IPCC climate change scenarios, which showed that 13% of the conterminous USA will be suitable for BMSB by 2080, compared to only 2.25% now. Objective 2: With discovery of the Asian egg parasitoid Trissolcus japonicus, a specialist of BMSB, in NC and ID in 2021, it has now been recovered from 14 states (VA, WV, PA, DE, NJ, NY OH, MI, UT CA, OR, WA ID, and NC) and Washington DC since 2014. In the most extensive redistribution efforts in the country, T. japonicus was recovered from 8 of 9 release sites in VA over a 5-year period. It is most abundant in northern VA, likely due to spread from its original detection in Frederick County where it is now abundant and widely distributed based on sampling with yellow stick cards. Releases of the native generalist parasitoid Anastatus reduvii were conducted in cooperative studies in MD and NC, where recovery using sentinel egg masses and yellow sticky cards was very low. Objective 3: Proof of concept research in WV that demonstrated the potential of attract and kill as a management tool was evaluated in NC on 'Granny Smith' apples, a cultivar highly susceptible to BMSB damage. Studies were conducted at 9 sites to evaluate a 3X pheromone lure dose as the attractant and insecticide-impregnated netting as the killing agent. The 3X lure attracted and killed approximately 2.5 times more BMSB than the 1X lure. Damage was numerically, but not significantly reduced 10 meters from the nearest killing station, but did not extend beyond that point. It was concluded this specific approach was not an economically viable approach. An exclusion approach by covering trees with drape net was also evaluated on 'Granny Smith' apples. Drape net reduced damage from 35% in the control to 20% in the drape net treatment in 2021, and from 8.5% to 6.2% in 2022, but the intensity of damage (number of feeding sites/fruit) was reduced from 9.4 in the control to 5.3 sites/50 apples in the drape net treatment. While drape netting did reduce damage compared to the control, the reduction was not enough to offset the cost of product + application. A major point of entry of BMSB into drape net covered apples was under the tree where the two sides of netting were clipped together. Objective 4: A nationwide online survey was completed that assessed the potential adoption of new BMSB management tactics and estimated stakeholder willingness to pay for biological control. Based on 295 respondents, 50% of respondents (representing tree fruits, vegetables small fruits, nuts, and nursery crops) reported BMSB impacted profitability, with 22% estimating a moderate to high yield reduction and 35% reporting increased spray costs. When queried about biological control with Trissolcus japonicus, 88% of respondents indicated they would like to have it released on their property. Willingness to pay for it varied based on how effective it will be at reducing damage and insecticide applications; on average stakeholders were willing to pay a one-time fee of $177 for 100% effectiveness, and $30 for 50% effectiveness. When asked who should pay the cost of biological control the highest response (54%) indicated it should be shared among agricultural producers and government. Objective 5: The Northeast IPM Center hosted and update the project website StopBMSB.org, which continued to receive >80,000 visitors per year. The site contains information on the biology, ecology and management of BMSB in specialty crops, and is a repository of project publications, annual reports and stakeholder advisory panel meetings. During the course of the project, there were more than 160 research publications, education of 29 graduate students and 29 postdoctoral scholars, and leveraged more than $4 million in additional grant funds.

Progress 09/01/20 to 08/31/21

Outputs
Target Audience:There is a broad community to which the project targets and disseminates information, including growers, commodity organizations, extension educators, master gardeners, crop protection industry personnel, university researchers and other members of the scientific community, university students in agricultural sciences, and the general publication, including homeowners and citizen science participants. The project targets audiences across the country Changes/Problems:The COVID pandemic has reduced the work force available to conduct much of the research and complicated working conditions to meet social distancing requirements. While we are learning how to safely operate research programs under a pandemic, progress has been hampered during the past year. Consequently, a one-year no-cost extension was granted for the project. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Training was provided to a total of 42 undergraduate students, 23 graduate students, and 15 postdoctoral students. All students were provided training in research in the general area of integrated pest management, including the specific disciplines of chemical ecology, biological control, landscape ecology/modeling, and statistics. Graduate students and postdocs also made scientific presentations on their research at professional meetings, including Entomology Society of America branch and national meetings, Western Pest & Disease Conference, and the Cumberland-Shenandoah Fruit Workers Conference in Winchester, VA. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?The website StopBMSB.org serves as a primary dissemination mechanism, which was viewed by >80,000 users between 1 September 2020 and 26 July 2021. All participating institutions also maintain websites with BMSB information specific to their region. Co-PIs in all participating states made presentations at commodity meetings and other extension-supported venues that targeted the growers and supporting organizations (e.g., extension personnel, crop protection industry, and the general public). Research results were disseminated via presentations at remotely scientific conferences and publications in scientific journals. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?This 5-year project was originally to be completed in August 2021, but due to the pandemic a one-year no-cost extension was granted. Much of the research is completed, so many co-PIs will be preparing manuscripts for research journals. However, several projects will be continued into the next year as it relates to T. japonicus redistribution studies, attract and kill studies, evaluation of new insecticides, etc.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? Objective 1: Models predicting the invasion risk of BMSB populations across the conterminous USA using climate, landscape and combined climate/landscape factors were developed. These MAXENT models were developed to identify areas with high suitability for BMSB based on presence only data. Heat maps for individual states outlining areas of high and low suitability were made available to research groups across the country. Model validation was conducted through a cooperative study that included monitoring populations with pheromone traps in previously non-sampled areas predicted for low and high habitat suitability at 96 sites across the USA by 13 research groups in 9 states. Validation is in progress,, and is critical to refine and improve the predictive power of the models for future outbreaks. Studies were conducted in the western US to document the continued expansion of BMSB into agricultural areas, document non-crop host plants potentially important in the population dynamics of BMSB, and continues to monitor the severity of damage to key crops. Surveys in Utah have identified 64 host plants in 21 families. Studies in Washington documented that shrub steppe, a dominate host plant in the arid landscape of Washington tree fruit production, was a poor host plant for BMSB and may limit its establishment in this region, although irrigated crops and urban/suburban landscapes may provide suitable resources. In CA, BMSB continues to spread to new almond orchards in Stanislaus, Merced and San Joaquin counties, although the rate of spread to new orchards is relatively slow. Populations have been lower in CA agricultural areas since 2016 and 2017, and high heat and low humidity are the likely causes, which was demonstrated in extensive laboratory studies. Semi-field studies evaluating development and mortality show different abilities for BMSB to establish and grow populations in different parts of the state based on abiotic condition. Objective 2: Since the first detection of the Asian parasitoid Trissolcus japonicus in MD in 2014, it has since been detected in 12 additional states (VA, WV, PA, DE, NJ, NY, OH, MI, UT, CA, OR, WA) and the District of Columbia. Despite extensive monitoring with both sentinel egg masses and yellow sticky cards in NC, GA, and KY, it has not been detected in these states. Since USDA-APHIS guidelines do not allow interstate transport of adventive T. japonicus populations, redistribution studies were limited only to those states where it has been detected. Following multiple years of release in participating states, recovery of T. japonicus at release sites via sentinel egg masses or yellow sticky cards has been low in the eastern US, but detected with greater frequency in UT and the Pacific NW. Experiments studying role of kairomones to T. japonicus host location demonstrated a strong searching response by T. japonicus to suface kairomones of female BMSB, leading to higher discovery and greater parasitism of BMSB egg masses. Studies in MD and NC are underway to assess the impact of inundative releases of the generalist egg parasitoid Anastatus reduvii on BMSB populations at the local level. First year releases were inconclusive, but COVID prevented a full evaluation. Studies are being repeated in 2021. Studies continue to identify and quantify the impact of native natural enemies on BMSB. Cooperative studies are assess differences among habitats and regions. Studies continued on the impact of the native entomopathogen Nosema maddoxi on BMSB populations. When examining overwintering BMSB cohorts in Virgina, 26% of moribund and 43% of cadavers were infected with N. maddoxi, while lower levels of infection occurred in those that survived the winter. Interesting, 50% of moribund and cadavers contained spores of Colletotrichum acutatum, which is being investigated as a potential pathogen of BMSB. Objective 3: Management-focused research was centered on three areas in the past year, including development of pheromone-based attract and kill techniques, pheromone trap based thresholds for dictating insecticide applications, and impact of different insecticides and applications on BMSB and natural enemies. Attract and kill studies utilized 1 to 5X rates of dual lures (BMSB pheromone + MDT synergist) as an attractant and long-lasting insecticide impregnated netting as a killing agent; this research was in apples, peaches and sweet corn. Different shapes and sizes of netting were also examined. Number of BMSB killed increased with increasing dose of pheromone, but the optimum doses will depend on economic analysis. Studies continue in MI and PA evaluating different sticky panel trap designs to improve capture of BMSB adults and nymphs. New insecticides that are more compatible with IPM compared to industry standard pyrethroids and neonicotinoid were tested for BMSB control. To date there are no apparent replacements that offer the same level of control. Both laboratory and field studies have evaluated the impact of insecticides on BMSB natural enemies. At MN, most insecticides evaluated caused acute lethal effects to T. japonicus within 1 wk after ingestion. Full rates of spinosad and sulfoxaflor and half rates of pyrethrins, and chlothianidin caused sublethal effects via residual contact. Drift associated with airblast sprayers were found to reduce biological control in wooded habitats adjacent to apple orchards in NC, but they did not significantly affect T. japonicus in WV. Objective 4: Evaluation of BMSB economic survey data is underway. The national survey includes assessing the impact of grower attributes/attitudes on potential adoption of BMSB management tactics, and estimating their willingness to pay for biological control. The survey will be completed in August 2021 after which analysis will be conducted. Objective 5: Then Northeast IPM Center contributed significantly to outreach efforts during the past year. They continue to maintain the program outreach website StopBMSB.org, which once again had >80,000 unique visitors during the past year. NEIPM also hosted the remote meeting for the Stakeholder Advisory Panel in February 2021, and worked with co-PIs developed and administered polling questions on the future of BMSB research/extension activities. All information is available at the website. Co-PIs in all states made presentations to stakeholders (almost exclusively remotely) on project accomplishments and findings, as well as at professional meetings, including national and regional ESA meetings. Finally, the project continues to prepare the next generation of scientists; in this capacity a total of 29 postdocs and 29 grad students have conducted research related to the project.

Progress 09/01/19 to 08/31/20

Outputs
Target Audience:There is a broad community to which the project targets and disseminates information, including growers, commodity organizations, extension educators, master gardeners, crop protection industry personnel, university researchers and other members of the scientific community, university students in agricultural sciences, and the general publication, including homeowners and citizen science participants. Changes/Problems:COVID-19 has presented a major challenge to all participants. From March through May of 2020, shelter in place mandates in most states, along with virtually all universities and USDA placing restrictions on entry into laboratories and barring the start of new research, severely hampered progress in the current year. Restrictions on travel and group gatherings led to cancellation of many extension activities and conferences, which will limit the projects ability to disseminate information. Limitations on new hires and laboratory vehicle occupancy further complicate conducting research projects. What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?The project delivered a diversity of training and professional development activities for a total of 56 undergraduates, 20 graduate students and 17 postdoctoral scholars. Training activities included conducting research in the area of integrated pest management, including chemical ecology, biological control, landscape ecology/modeling, and statistics. Students and postdocs presented research results at national and international scientific conferences, including Entomology Society of America branch and national meetings, as well as at the Western Pest & Disease Conference in Portland, OR, and the Cumberland-Shenandoah Fruit Workers Conference in Winchester, VA. Many of these students also obtained experience in extension by making presentations at field days, commodity meetings, master gardener training sessions. Undergraduate students at Cornell University conducted semester-long research on the BMSB pathogen Neosema maddoxi for credit, and one student studying vertical transmission of the organism for their senior honors thesis. International cooperation by USDA scientists provided opportunities for international students (Australia and New Zealand) to obtain research experience and training on the biology of BMSB and biological control by Trissolcus. Four co-PIs traveled to the Republic of Georgia to evaluate a BMSB areawide management program and provide training and recommendations for the future of the program. Finally, co-PIs of the project more than 25 presentations on aspects of BMSB biology and management at state-wide commodity meetings and related conferences, most of which qualified for pesticide recertification and consultant credits. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?A diversity of mechanisms were used to disseminate information to stakeholders and other communities of interest. The website StopBMSB.org serves as a primary dissemination mechanism, which was viewed by 76,957 users between 1 September 2019 and 26 July 2020. Seventy-two percent of the traffic came from internet search engines. Updates during the past year include expansion of scientific publications, downloadable presentations from the Stakeholder Advisory Panel meeting, and updated maps showing BMSB distribution and Trissolcus japonicus field recoveries. All participating institutions also maintain websites with BMSB information specific to their region. More than XX presentations were made by project participants at commodity meetings and other extension-supported venues that targeted the growers and supporting organizations (e.g., extension personnel, crop protection industry. Research results were disseminated via presentations at scientific conferences and publications in scientific journals. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Objective 1. A major undertaking during the final year of project will be to validate a model predicting the suitability of BMSB across the US. This will be accomplished by estimating BMSB abundance during a 6-wk period when populations are expected to be at their highest in late summer in predicted areas of low- and high-suitability. Pheromone trap captures will be used to estimate abundance. Additional activities will be to complete analysis and publications related to BMSB phenology models, agroecosystem effects on BMSB pheromone trapping and crop damage, and predictions of annual abundance. Objective 2: Numerous studies will continue with adventive populations of Trissolcus japonicus, including monitoring the spread in states not yet detected, redistribution in those states where it occurs, examining the response of T japonicus to host-produced kairomones, assessing non-target effects of adventive populations in the wild, and submitting a petition to USDA-APHIS for field release of a Beijing population of T japonicus. Cooperative studies in NC and MD will assess releases of the more generalized parasitoid Anastatus reduvii on parasitism of BMSB. Finally conservation of natural enemy populations through floral companion plants will be conducted in OR and NJ. Objective 3: Studies on attract and kill will continue as it relates to pheromone dose, optimum distance among killing stations, most effective killing station structure, and efficacy in commercial orchards. Assessment of pheromone trap based thresholds for dictating insecticide applications will be evaluated. Experiments will evaluate the efficacy of new insecticides against BMSB and impacts on secondary pests, and assessment of different insecticide uses to conserve natural enemy populations. Objective 4: An online survey of the economic impact of BMSB will be completed, analyzed, and submitted for publication. Objective 5: New contributions and infrastructure improvements of the website StopBMSB.org will continue. A new section on project accomplishments will be developed. Education of stakeholders, including commodity producers, extension agents, crop protection industry representatives, the scientific community, and students will remain a priority of the project through extension publications, website additions, scientific journal publications, and presentations at local, state, national and international meetings.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? Objective 1: A 3-year nationwide sampling program was completed in 2019, which allowed for a data set including 284 sampling sites from 25 research groups in each year. Sampling sites included newly invaded areas experiencing invasive spread, as well as areas with well-established populations. The 2017-2019 data set was used to develop three types of models based on climate, landscape and combined to develop predictive models to quantify "hotspots." For risk invasion assessment, occupancy (MAXENT) models were developed to identify areas most prone to BMSB invasion. Abundance models analyzed what factors explained the large variability in BMSB counts in space and time in areas where BMSB is established. Generalized Boosted models (GBMs), which are well suited for large data set modeling, were used. The main factor driving BMSB occurrence was proximity to urban areas, while photoperiod and evapotranspiration were most strongly associated with BMB abundance. Studies were also conducted to assess BMSB host plants in new areas and impact of climate on survival and development of BMSB in different areas. For instance, new host plants in the unique climate/landscape of Utah included 21 plant families and 63 species. Survival studies on in California showed BMSB nymphs were able to complete development on peaches, and to a lesser extent on almond and pistachios, but not grapes. Studies showed BMSB did not damage walnut, although they may sometimes feed on husks. Temperature and humidity studies in California showed high temperatures reduced survivorship of all life stages, and low humidity affected survivorship of first instars. Objective 2: The Asian parasitoid Trissolcus japonicus were detected in Utah and California, making a total of 13 states and Washington DC where adventive populations occur. Seven states are cooperating on redistribution of T japonicus, but to date there have been few detections in new release areas. Yellow sticky were shown to be more efficient in detecting T. japonicus, and also showed that in Virginia T. japonicus was first detected in May, peaked in July and August, and was last detected in September. Comparison of blue versus yellow sticky cards in Utah revealed that yellow cards captured more parasitoids, but also about 2X more non-target insects. Work continues on a Petition for Field Release of a Beijing strain of T. japonicus, pending additional supporting data. Studies in Washington using PCR analysis to detect non-reproductive effects on eggs of native species found that for some native species (Podisus maculiventris and Euschistus conspersus), non-reproductive effects represent a hidden, but significant level of impact up non-targets. Detection of the pathogen Nosema maddoxi was widespread across the US, but infection rates varied considerably. Additional surveys and modelling studies are underway to better understand the epidemiology of the pathogen. Studies showed N. maddoxi negatively impacted the lifespan and fecundity of adult females, egg viability, and nymphal survival. Objective 3: Research related to use of the BMSB pheromone as a management tool was a major focus. Results in MI and CA indicate that trap type may vary among locations and/or crops, with the pyramid trap being most efficient in apple in MI, but the panel trap better in almonds in CA. Companies continue to develop new BMSB lures, but the Trece Dual Lure continues to be the most effective on a per dose basis. Studies continue to evaluate lures various doses of pheromone for either monitoring or attract and kill programs. While the relationship between trap capture and damage in various crops has been poor, their use to dictate and optimize insecticide applications for BMSB has shown greater promise. Using a sticky panel trap and Trece Dual Lure, a threshold of 5 BMB/trap optimized insecticide use in peppers in VA. In contrast, using a threshold of 4 adults per trap in apples resulted in more insecticide applications and no difference in damage compared to growers standards. Studies are being repeated in 2020. Finally, promising results from cooperative studies led by the USDA related to attract and kill in mid-Atlantic apples has led to expansion of this work in other regions of the country. Currently research is focused on comparing different doses of pheromone as the attractant, use of insecticide-impregnated netting as the killing agent, and spacing among A&T stations. Different approaches to habitat management strategies for managing BMSB in various crops were undertaken in KY, NH, and OR. Use of Japanese millet and sunflower as trap crops resulted in 50% reduction of stink bug damage in a pepper cash crop and shows promise as a management strategy for small farm vegetable production. Research on use of companion insectary plants to enhance natural enemy populations has focused on selection of plant species, and field evaluations are anticipated. Evaluation of new insecticides for management of BMSB continues on vegetables and tree fruits, and while several promising products have been identified, there are no imminent registrations. Research on the impact of insecticides on biological control agents continues in both laboratory and field settings. Laboratory studies in MN showed that even insecticides that exhibited low toxicity to T japonicus nonetheless had negative effects on longevity and reproduction. Field studies in NC demonstrated that natural enemy populations and biocontrol of BMSB eggs were lower in adjacent wooded habitats in high insecticide input agroecosystems (apples) compared to low input systems (field corn). In contrast, T japonicus populations held in millet adjacent to peaches were not affected by pesticide drift, but direct application to the millet negatively affected the parasitoid. Objective 4: An online survey on the economics of BMSB has been posted at StopBMSB.org for the past two years and will continue to be available to specialty crop producers for the remainder of the project. More than 200 producers have participated to date. Objective 5: StopBMSB.org continues to be a key mechanism for disseminating information generated by the project. The StopBMSB.org website was viewed by 76,957 users in the past 11 months. This represents a small decrease (about 6%) from the previous year. Seventy-two percent of the traffic came from internet search engines. Top pages on the website, in addition to the home page, include "Look-Alike Insects", "Life Stages", the "State-by-State" map, and "Stink Bug Basics", indicating the StopBMSB.org is serving as a resource for identification and basic BMSB knowledge. Pages within the Biological Control section, including "Samurai Wasp (Trissolcus japonicus)", also appear in the top ten most-visited pages. A publication on the response of the SCRI BMSB team to the invasion of BMSB was published in the J. Integrated Pest Management, with 21 co-authors. Co-PIs from all institutions continue to develop new material for individual state websites, make presentations at extension and scientific meetings and conferences, and contribute to the training of future IPM scientists; during the past year a total of 56 undergraduate, 20 graduate and 17 postdoctoral students participated in research conducted by the project.

Progress 09/01/18 to 08/31/19

Outputs
Target Audience:The target audience included includes growers, commodity organizations, extension educators and master gardeners, crop protection industry, university researchers and other members of the scientific community, university students in agricultural sciences, and the general public including homeowners and citizen science participants. Changes/Problems: Nothing Reported What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Among the 18 institutions, the project offered a great diversity of opportunities for training and professional opportunities. A total of 63 undergraduate students participated in research supported by the project, providing them experience in the area of agricultural research, specifically in the area of integrated pest management and ecology. At least four undergraduate students used various aspects of the project's research for undergraduate research credit or senior research projects. In addition, 22 graduate students and 15 postdoctoral scholars participated in the project and provided them training in the area of insect ecology, IPM, chemical ecology, biological control, landscape modeling, statistics, and extension experience. The project provided several stakeholder and scientific groups opportunities for professional development by attending state and regional commodity meetings, field days, and meetings of related professional organizations information on the biology, ecology and management of BMSB. Most of these presentations qualified for pesticide recertification and consultant credits. In at least three states (MD, NC, and UT) the project trained extension agents during in-service agent training programs, as well as Master Gardner training. Professional development opportunities were also provided for the scientific community through BMSB parasitoid identification courses held in Gainsville, FL, and Montferrier-sur-Lez, France, and through presentations by graduate students, postdoctoral students and co-PIs at National and Regional meetings of the Entomological Society of America as well as internationally at the IOBC Working Group on Integrated Fruit Production and Semiochemals. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?StopBMSB.org serves as a major dissemination mechanism for information generated by the project. In the 11 month period from 1 Sept 2018 to 15 July 2019 the website had 79,152 visitors. The website was expanded during the past year with addition of the projects annual report, presentations made at the stakeholder advisory panel meeting, addition of a new long-length article on the BMSB entomopathogen Nosema maddoxi, news articles/links on BMSB articles both nationally and internationally, and addition of co-PI bios. In addition co-PIs from all participating institutions have websites with BMSB information relevant at the state level, and >100 presentations with BMSB information were made a commodity at extension meetings targeting growers, extension personal, the crop protection industry, and Master Gardener meetings. Finally, presentations by co-PIs, grad students and postdocs were made at a wide diversity of regional, national and international scientific meetings. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Objective 1: The national BMSB monitoring program will be completed and data and used for landscape modeling efforts. Data will be used to develop models on predicting the risk of BSMB damage to specialty crops in different landscapes and regions of the country, phenology of BMSB, heat maps to current and predicted density of BMSB in the US, as well as the potential for BMSB to become established in different ecoregions. To aid in developing more accurate models, complimentary studies on region-specific responses of BMSB to various biotic and abiotic factors will be investigated, including life table analyses. Objective 2: Surveys for the Asian parasitoid Trissolcus japonicus will continue in states where it has not yet been detected, and redistribution of the parasitoid will continue in those 13 states where it has been detected. In addition, it is anticipated that analysis and publication of previously collected data on the regional and habitat diversity of native natural enemies will be completed. Studies will also continue on studies to better understand the biology and ecology of T. japonicus, including attraction and repellency studies of semiochemicals. Objective 3: Experiments to refine and evaluate the efficacy of pheromone-based attract and kill technology will continue in both orchard and vegetable systems, including optimum attractant qualities, size and shapes of LLIN killing stations, and density of A&K stations needed. Studies on habitat manipulation strategies to suppress BMSB populations and enhance natural enemy populations will be continued, including use of trap crops for BMSB and insectary plants for natural enemies. Evaluation of insecticides effects against natural enemies and BMSB will continue in both vegetable and orchard systems. Objective 4: The national survey on the economic impact of BMSB and biocontrol will continue to operate on StopBMSB.org. The economics of new pest control tactics, particularly attract and kill will also be analyzed. Objective 5: New contributions and infrastructure improvements of the website StopBMSB.org will continue. A new section on excluding BMSB from homes will also be developed. Education of stakeholders, including commodity producers, extension agents, crop protection industry representatives, the scientific community, and studnets will remain a priority of the project through extension publications, website additions, scientific journal publications, and presentations at local, state, national and international meetings.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? Objective 1: The goal is evaluate and predict risk from brown marmorated (BMSB) damage through models based on climate and landscape variables and to identify the main factors driving BMSB population dynamics through time. During each of the past three years, trapping data from 268 sites, representing 17 states and 25 research groups, were processed; sites included areas where BMSB is well established as well as expanding areas in the Midwest and West. Additional studies on climatic effects on BMSB and host range were conducted to improve the use of these variables in modeling exercises. High temperatures and low humidity both were found to suppressive to BMSB populations, affects western US model predictions. Trapping areas revealed the expansion and increase of populations in the southeast. Populations have also increased in agricultural areas of Utah and California, including damage to almonds. For invasion risk assessment, occupancy (MAXENT) models were developed to identify areas with high suitability for BMSB based on presence-only data from 2017-18. These models can be used to quantify the potential "hotspots," areas that are most prone to potential BMSB invasion. Three types of models based on the predictor variables were developed: climatic, landscape and combined. For each type, models on two spatial scales were created: conterminous US and six regional models for each selected biome. The set of climate predictors were primarily derived from WorldClim and PRISM, and included temperature (minimum of coldest month and maximum of warmest month), precipitation, vapor pressure deficit, potential evapotranspiration and growing degree days. Landscape variables included land cover type, elevation, daylength, soil pH and distance to water bodies. These variables were mainly derived from Cropscape (USDA), National Land Cover Database, and National Hydrology (USGS). Our MAXENT models also identified the main climatic and landscape factors driving BMSB occurrence. The 2017/18 database was also used to develop the first occurrence models and generated the nationwide and biome-based predictive maps for invasion risk of BMSB. Data from 2019 will be integrated in the models, which will refine and improve the predictive power when analyzing future outbreaks. Objective 2: The goals of this objective are to assess the impact and enhance the role of biological control in managed and non-managed habits. Adventive populations of the Asian egg parasitoid Trissolcus japonicus were discovered in three additional states (MI, UT and CA), and it now occurs 13 states and Washington DC. Redistribution efforts of T. japonicus are underway in WA, OR, VA, MD, WV, DE, MI and NY. Yellow sticky cards were found to be more effective in detecting japonicus compared to sentinel and naturally laid eggs. Native natural enemy surveys conducted in 2017-18 in seven states in different habitats (orchards, nurseries, row crops, wood edges) using sentinel egg masses and wild-collected egg masses of BMSB were used determine native parasitoid species and rates of parasitism and predation. Yellow sticky cards were also used to detect predators and parasitoids of BMSB egg masses. Data from this multistate project have been analyzed to elucidate regional and habitat differences in parasitoid and predator activity. Preliminary results have been presented at professional and stakeholder group meetings, and manuscript preparation is underway A nationwide survey of the entomopathogen Nosema maddoxi revealed infections in BMSB populations across the country, with infection prevalence ranging from 0-60%, N. maddoxi infections were more abundant in spring and we hypothesize that infection levels increase as the BMSB overwinter in aggregations. Laboratory studies on the impact of this microsporidia showed that infections negatively impact the lifespan of adult females, female fecundity, egg viability, and nymphal survival. Objective 3: The goal of this objective is to develop management tools and strategies that are compatible with biological control. Work during the past year focused on four areas; use of semiochemicals, attract and kill strategies, habitat manipulation, and chemical control. A nationwide study comparing the pyramid and sticky panel traps showed that pyramid trap captures were higher, but capture in the two trap types were highly correlated. Attract and kill strategy using BMSB pheromone + MDT was used to attract bugs to long-lasting insecticide netting (LLIN) that kills bugs in a matter of minutes. The concept has proven to be promising in apple orchard systems and is now being tested in vegetable crops. Several investigators are refining the system by comparing different combinations of MDT:pheromone, size and structure of killing stations using LLIN, and deployment of stations. Habitat manipulation strategies were investigated from the perspective of manipulating BMSB populations and enhancing natural enemy populations. In KY, the use of sunflowers and Japanese millet were used as a trap crop to protect peppers, and during peak population activity BMSB populations were 3X higher in control vs trap crop pepper plots. In MD marigold border plants indirectly increased mortality of BMSB populations in adjacent crops through increased mortality of BMSB eggs. Edamame/broccoli intercropping was assessed on natural enemy populations and effects on BMSB mortality. Buckwheat flowers were found to enhance longevity of T. japonicus and is a candidate insectary plant. Different marking systems were assessed on T. japonicus and protein in the form of egg albumin or bovine casein did not negatively affect the parasite. Studies assessed impacts of various insecticides against key natural enemy populations as well as BMSB. Spinosad was particularly toxic to Anastatus reduvii and T. japonicus, while Azera and Pyganic were relatively safe to both. Neonicotinoids reduced longevity to adult parasitoids. Studies were also completed to established baseline sensitivity of BMSB adults to bifenthrin and thiamethoxam. There was no difference in the response of bugs among populations on a regional basis, 1X rates of both materials resulted in >95% mortality in all populations, while mortality at 0.1X rates was highly variability. Objective 4: A survey on the economics of BMSB was approved by the Penn State Institutional Review Board and is now available to the public at Stop.BMSB. Newsletter articles about the survey were circulated via extension channels nationally. The on-line survey was opened at the end of June 2018 and to date over 150 farmers have completed the survey. The intention is for the on-line survey to remain open until the end of the project. Objective 5: Stop BMSB.org served as a comprehensive source of BMSB information generated by the project, and had 79,152 users in the past year. New information added in 2018-19 included the projects annual report, presentations of the stakeholder advisory committee meeting, profile information of project co-PIs, and summaries and post of links to scientific and popular articles that appeared on a national and international basis. A major addition was an in-depth article on microsporidia as a biological control agent of BMSB. Co-PIs, postdoctoral and graduate students from each participating institution developed numerous extension publications directed to specialty crop producers in their respective states, presentations at commodity meetings, national and international scientific meetings, as well as engaging the general public about BMSB at public events, such as farmers markets. The project aims to inspire the next generation of pest management scientists, and greater than 60 students, including more than 30 undergraduates, were employed by project supported by the project. A minimum of 13 individuals previously trained by the project have either entered graduate school in entomology or now have professional positions.

Progress 09/01/17 to 08/31/18

Outputs
Target Audience:Our target audience includes growers, homeowners, extension agents, university researchers, commodity groups, crop protection industry, and the general scientific community. Citizen science projects engaged homeowners, master gardeners, and other interested members of the public in research projects, training them on stink bug identification and involving them in research. For example, master gardeners volunteered to monitor stink bug eggs in the Citizen Science Project "Project Stink-B-Gone." Trissolcus japonicus was found in a new location in Maryland through the project. Changes/Problems: Nothing Reported What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?This project supported the training of 68 undergraduate, 20 graduate, 15 postdoctoral students who conducted brown marmorated stink bug research. Students were an important part of our research and outreach activities and gained training on various aspects of scientific work, including ecological field techniques, scientific writing and presentation, and laboratory skills. Several early-career research technicians were also trained to conduct entomological research under this project. The project provided professional development opportunities to graduate students, postdocs, research assistants, and co-PIs who attended and presented results at many professional meetings, including the BMSB IPM Working Group Meeting, Cumberland-Shenandoah Fruit Workers Conference, Entomological Society of American National and Branch Meetings, and Orchard Pest & Disease Management Conference. Participants in the project also had the opportunity to attended workshops such as the Workshop on Identification of Parasitoids of BMSB. A major educational opportunity provided was co-sponsoring a BMSB Parasitoid Identification Workshop held in Gainseville, FL, in January 2018. Stink bug parasitoid taxonomists K. Hoelmer, E. Talamas, and M. Buffington led the workshop, which was attended by 13 participants. UC Davis: We collaborated with two University of California Cooperative Farm Advisors who participated in designing and conducting our studies and who had the opportunity to make presentations at professional meetings: Jhalendra Rijal, Area IPM Advisor-northern San Joaquin Valley Chuck Ingles, Pomology, Viticulture, Environmental Horticulture, and Master Gardener Advisor Joanna Fisher, a postdoctoral researcher working on this project has gained significant research and project management experience. She has also had significant opportunities for training and professional development, including making presentations at professional society meetings and participating in ongoing conference calls, group email discussions, and the annual meeting of the SCRI BMSB grant team. Seven undergraduate students worked on the BMSB project and received training in lab or field techniques in agriculture or entomology. Two of these students were motivated to pursue careers in pest management or entomology as a result of their experiences. Professional development and training was provided for Pest Control Advisors and growers at 8 extension meetings and workshops at various sites in California's central valley with close to 1000 individuals in attendance. Oregon State University: The project has provided professional development for a postdoctoral associate (David Lowenstein) and for multiple undergraduate students. Utah State University: We trained and collaborated with three USU Extension County Agents and the State Entomologist in BMSB biology, monitoring and management: Katie Wagner, Horticulture Extension Associate Professor, Utah State University, Salt Lake County, UT Taun Beddes, Horticulture Associate Extension Professor, Utah State University, Utah County, UT JayDee Gunnell, Horticulture Associate Extension Professor, Utah State University, Cache County, UT Kristopher Watson, Entomologist, Utah Department of Agriculture and Food, Salt Lake City, UT We provided professional development and training to 15 USU Extension County Agents at two in-service workshops: Utah Pests In-Service Training - Utah State University, Kaysville, UT (Sep 21, 2017) Utah Pests In-Service Training - Utah State University, Lehi, UT (Feb 26, 2018) We provided training to 75 Master Gardeners at a First Detector workshop: First Detector Training - State Master Gardener Conference, Utah State University, Midvale, UT (Sep 22, 2017) Virginia Tech: Bergh is currently training two PhD students who work on different aspects of BMSB. In summer/fall 2017, three undergraduate students who assisted with his BMSB projects learned about various aspects of this pest and its biology, ecology, and management. Bergh participated in a scientific mission to the Republic of Georgia in March 2018, where he provided training and information to USAID employees and to Georgian government officials and university entomologists about potential tactics to manage BMSB in Georgian hazelnuts. In April 2018, Bergh provided training information to Plant and Food Research New Zealand as it prepares a proposal to address the anticipated invasion of NZ by BMSB. He agreed to serve as a cooperator on this project going forward. Kuhar is currently training two MS students who focus on BMSB for their research. In fall 2017, an undergraduate at Virginia Tech, Mika Pagani, was supervised on a 2-credit Independent Study research project entitled, "Efficacy of Apritone Repellent on Halyomorpha halys". University of Kentucky: County Ag and Horticulture Extension Agent Training for eastern agents this past November. Ohio State University: Allowed three undergraduate students to learn basic field, lab, and data collection techniques used in applied entomology projects. University of Maryland: A post-doc developed her skills in experimental design and statistical analysis. An undergraduate student began her Entomology Honors Project on the redistribution of Trissolcus japonicus. An undergraduate student is learning about competitive interactions between the exotic T. japonicus and the native Anastatus reduvii. An undergraduate student expanded his research skills working on studies of BMSB natural enemies. Penn State: - Training of graduate (1) and undergraduate students (4 new undergraduate students for the 2018 season) - Working group meeting North Carolina State University: Project participants attended and made presentations at the following scientific meetings: Entomological Society of America Annual Meeting. Nov 5-9, 2017, Denver, CO. BMSB Working Group Meeting. Nov 29, 2017, Winchester, VA. Cumberland-Shenandoah Fruit Workers Conference. Nov 30-Dec 1, 2017, Winchester VA. Orchard Pest & Disease Management Conference. Jan 10-12, 2018. Portland, OR. University of Georgia: Parasitoids that were collected in Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama were pinned by Dr. Sriyanka Lahiri (post doc) and then carried to the BMSB Parasitoid ID Workshop hosted by the University of Florida, Jan. 17-19, 2018. This was an excellent training and professional development event. UC Riverside: The project has served as an introduction to researchfor undergraduate students from underrepresented minority groups. These opportunities include both field and lab stink bug projects that center around the principles of entomology, biological control, and ecology. As a stepping stone, these opportunities have allowed students to advance with their careers into other areas of science. The post-doc working on this project has also gained mentorship and project management skills that have facilitated the progress of this project. This is reflected in the new partnerships established with community gardens, museums, and state agencies. As a whole, the project has provided the opportunity to develop a cohesive team dynamic; this is an asset that will be carried forward to maximize the research & extension output of this project in California. USDA-ARS: Two MSc. thesis projects to date (on Anastatus taxonomy and on host finding behavior and host suitability by Trissolcus japonicus) One postdoctoral scientist currently (studying impact of T. japonicus) Continued presentation of the Workshop on Identification of Parasitoids attacking BMSB Participation in an advisory mission to the Republic of Georgia concerning management of BMSB Worked with New Zealand and Chilean Governments on development of trapping and eradication protocols for an invading population in Santiago, Chile. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?The StopBMSB.org website is the general project website and it is an accessible way for anyone interested in BMSB as a nuisance or agricultural pest to receive up-to-date information, including a video series on identification and management of BMSB. StopBMSB.org received 54,612 unique visitors from Sept. 1, 2017 through Mar. 31, 2018. Results have been orally presented at master gardener workshops, extension meetings, and professional meetings. Findings have been disseminated through published journal manuscripts, extension publications, and numerous websites maintained by co-PIs in addition to StopBMSB.org. The Northeastern IPM Center developed Stink Bug ID kits and sent 191 kits to 10 states and communities in Australia, Chile, and Germany from Sept. 1, 2017 through Mar. 31, 2018. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Objective 1: Using the analytical framework now designed, data from 2017 will be used to build regional models and evaluate the fitting accuracy. The nation-wide monitoring program will continue during 2018 and 2019 to populate the data base and expand modeling applications, both from a risk assessment and population dynamics perspective. Objective 2: Surveys for adventive populations of T. japonicus in states where it has not yet been detected will continue in the coming years. In addition, experiments to more fully identify crop and non-crop habitat preferences will be conducted to help direct parasitoid conservation programs. A major undertaking to begin in 2018 and continue through 2021 is redistribution of adventive populations of T. japonicus within states where it has been detected. Studies on regional complexes of native natural enemies and their impact on BMSB populations will continue in 2018 and 2019. Protocols have been refined for the next two years so that comparisons can be made at each location regarding natural enemies in specialty crops and adjacent non-managed habitats (i.e., wooded areas). Since these non-managed habitats are key reservoirs for BMSB infesting specialty crops, understanding natural enemy activity in these habitats is needed to assess impacts across agroecosystems. These studies will be conducted as a group project that will provide a robust data set for analyses. Conducting these studies in areas where T. japonicus will be redistributed and where it does not yet occur will allow for an analysis of the interaction of T. japonicus and native natural enemies. Objective 3: Studies will continue in fruit and vegetables to help determine the relationship between pheromone trap captures and BMSB and damage in specialty crops. Additional multi-year studies are planned to better understand what specifically affects captures of BMSB in pheromone traps and how to use trap capture information to interpret the reproductive status of BMSB populations. The regional study to compare the response of BMSB populations to bifenthrin and thiamethoxam will be repeated in 2018. The same bioassay procedures will be followed, but tests will included bugs collected during two time periods - early emerging first generation adults in mid-August, and diapausing adults collected from overwintering sites in October. Beginning in 2018, OR, NJ, and NC will begin to evaluate the effects of pesticide programs against BMSB natural enemies in the field. In NC and OR, sentinel egg masses, yellow sticky traps and direct counts will be used to compare natural enemy populations across agroecosystems to compare the impacts of insecticide programs on natural enemies within specialty crops as well as in reservoirs of natural enemies in adjacent habitats (wooded and weedy areas). CPR (border sprays) studies will be conducted again in 2018 to repeat work from 2017 in evaluating the approach in apple orchards and effect of orchard size. Attract and Kill research will continue in multiple states over the remaining four field seasons (WA, OR, MI, NY, NJ PA, VA, WV). These studies will focus on evaluating different pheromone lure doses to maximize attraction, evaluate the active space of an attractant station to most efficiently deploy this technology, measure BMSB penetration into the interior of orchards with and without A&K stations, and assess potential negative impacts of insecticide treated netting on natural enemy populations. Studies are also underway to evaluate the residual activity of LLIN to determine the frequency of replacement. Finally, trap cropping studies will continue in KY, as will further studies on floral insectary plantings to enhance BMSB natural enemies. Objective 4: Future efforts will include creation of economic content for the management protocols developed under Objective 3. The on-line management survey will be open for at least the next two years and probably until the end of the grant. This data set will provide the basis for several journal articles and extension publications. The BMSB insecticide selection tool will require annual updates to the insecticide price list and to adjust the insecticide database as new products become available and older products are withdrawn from use. Objective 5: The SCRI Extension Committee will meet biannually to discuss the status of StopBMSB.org and develop recommendations for addition of new material to the website. The priority list for new webpages is 1) Spread of adventive Trissolcus japonicus, 2) National Monitoring Program for BMSB, 3) Natural Control of BMSB with Microsporidia. These articles will be prepared by staff of the NEIPM Center in cooperation with the research leaders of these projects.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? IMPACT: The brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) is an invasive pest native to Asia that is a serious pest of fruits, vegetables and nut crops. Since its introduction in the eastern US in the 1990s, it has spread to 43 states. Populations are most intense in the Mid-Atlantic region, but are rapidly increasing in the Southeast, Midwest and Western US. Current management of BMSB is dependent on frequent applications of broad-spectrum pyrethroid and neonicotinoid insecticides, which has disrupted long-standing IPM programs. Disruption of this system has led to economic losses due to direct damage to crops and increased insecticide use to control secondary pests previously under biological control. This transdisciplinary project brings together >40 scientists representing 18 institutions in 17 states from across the USA to develop a national plan to manage BMSB in US specialty crops. A pheromone trap-based national monitoring program included 268 unique trapping sites dispersed across 15 states and 25 ecoregions was used to identified areas of high and low BMSB abundance, and helped describe the pattern of invasion into new regions. Detection of BMSB crop damage for the first time to California almonds and Utah tree fruits created a heightened awareness of the potential severity of BMSB to these crops, and has led to research to mitigate the problem. One of the primary reasons BMSB has become such a severe pest of specialty crops in the US is because it was introduced into the US in the absence of natural enemies with which it evolved in Asia, and which help to keep it a low pest status in its native region. The recent detection of spreading populations of the adventive Asian parasitoid Trissolcus japonicus, also known as the samurai wasp and which is a specialized parasite of BMSB eggs, in several regions of the US has spurred interest in redistributing the parasitoid to new regions of states where it has been detected. It has now been detected in 10 states, and it is anticipated that spread of the parasitoid will continue and eventually be a major BMSB population regulating factor. Objective 1: During the first year of the project, a nation-wide trapping network was deployed at the interface of wooded habitats and host crops. Each of the nearly 800 traps were monitored from early spring into the fall. The analytical frame work was designed to investigate Invasion Risk Assessment using occupancy (MAXENT) models that identify areas with high suitability for BMSB based on presence-only data, and Population Dynamics using abundance models that analyze what factors explain the large variability in BMSB counts in space and time in areas where BMSB is already present. We will use Generalized Boosted models (gbm), which are powerful machine-learning modeling techniques that have numerous advantages for large dataset modelling. Objective 2: Following the detection of adventive populations of T. japonicus in Maryland in 2014, this project undertook more extensive surveys for T. japonicus by collection of naturally laid BMSB eggs, deployment of BMSB sentinel eggs (both fresh and frozen) and yellow sticky cards in 14 states by 17 research teams. Following the 2017 season, the parasitoid has now been recovered in 10 states (WA,OR, OH, NY NJ, PA, MD, DE, VA and WV) plus the District of Columbia. Furthermore, three distinct genotypic populations have been identified by haplotypes profiles; Pacific NW, New England, and Mid Atlantic. Also of interest was higher recovery rates from sentinel egg masses in the Pacific NW than in the mid-Atlantic region. Assessment of native natural enemies on BMSB population dynamics showed parasitoids from three hymenopteran families emerged from egg masses in five habitats. Parasitoid species varied among habitats and regions of the country, with the generalist parasitoids Anastatus spp. most prevalent in forests and semi-natural habitats (parks, arboretums), Trissolcus species dominated ornamentals and orchards, and Telenomus podisi most common in vegetables and field crops. The diversity of parasitoids was greatest in the mid-Atlantic and southeastern US, and least diverse in western and Pacific Northwest states. Overall parasitism by native parasitoids was <5%, although in isolated locations parasitism exceeded 20%. Predation was higher than parasitism, although mean eggs removed across all locations was <10%, but in some instances predation exceeded 50%. Fire ants were significant predators in the southeastern US. Objective 3: From April to October 2017, 19 co-PIs from 17 states participated in a group project to compare BMSB captures in pheromone (murgantiol + MDT) baited panel sticky traps versus black pyramid traps. Pyramid traps captured more stink bugs than panel traps, but captures in the two traps were significantly correlated. Panel traps are now the standard trap. Crop perimeter restructuring (IPM-CPR) - i.e., border sprays - were successfully used to reduced BMSB damage in peach and apple orchards of 5 to 10 acres. An attract and kill strategy using high-dose pheromone lures to attract BMBS to sites where they were killed with insecticide sprays was comparable to standard insecticide sprays. Replacing insecticide sprays with insecticide long lasting insecticide impregnated netting as the killing agent also exhibited promise. Objective 4: A major effort involved the development of a producer survey instrument to assess the impact of BMSB on a wide range of crops across the United States. The survey contains questions about crop damage and impact on profitability, sources of management information, management practices, and insecticide use. In particular, the survey seeks to ascertain attitudes towards biological control and potential willingness to pay. The producer survey has been formatted on-line and will be available for access by survey participants by the end of June 2018. Results from the survey will help assess the current economic impact of BMSB and producer attitudes towards various types of management practices. Objective 5: StopBMSB.org served as a major venue for delivering information to a wide array of stakeholders, including the scientific community, grower and commodity organizations, and the general public. This website is maintained by the Northeastern IPM Center (Cornell University), and was originally established during the first BMSB SCRI project. Significant updates and changes have been made to the website to reflect the new focus and personnel in the current SCRI project. A new biological control section with information about T. japonicus, updated BMSB and T. japonicus distribution maps, and articles on IPM-CPR and Attract and Kill are all new additions. There are links to 36 presentations and 53 scientific publications generated by the project. Since the initiation of the new project in September 2016, StopBMSB.org has had >130,000 unique visitors. In addition, there have been >61,000 lifetime views of a video series on ID, monitoring and management of BMSB. To maximize the project's reach and relevancy across the country, we have promoted communication among participants at both the regional and national level to learn from previous experiences and adapt strategies to the local level. Both regional and national stakeholder meetings provide a mechanism for relevancy at both levels. Outreach activities are tailored for local audiences, yet listservs for PIs, all project participants, as well as the BMSB community at large, provide a mechanism for sharing new and relevant information with audiences at the local and national (and international) level. During the first year of the project, surveys of stakeholders were held in four states to provide a base for future measurement of grower knowledge on BMSB.

  • Type: Websites Status: Published Year Published: 2017 Citation: StopBMSB.org website is a major avenue for delivering information to a wide array of stakeholders, including the scientific community, grower and commodity organizations, and the general public. This website is maintained by the Northeastern IPM Center (based at Cornell University), and was originally established during the first BMSB SCRI project. The website has been updated to reflect the new focus and personnel in the current SCRI project, as well as revision of existing information and addition of several new focus articles. To guide the future development of the website, an extension committee represented by members from each of the five regions is working with NEIPM Center personnel Chris Gonzales and Kevin Judd to identify feature article topics and a series of Spotlight articles on project participants. The website is recognized as the "go to" site for BMSB information, and provides links to state sites and cooperating organizations. In the past year StopBMSB.org has had 54,612 unique visitors (Sept. 1, 2017 through Mar. 31, 2018). Website updates during the reporting period: * Home page restructured, new graphics (Mar. 2018) http://www.stopbmsb.org/ * Map updated (Jan. 2018): http://www.stopbmsb.org/about-us/project-team/ * Added 36 presentations (Dec. 2017): http://www.stopbmsb.org/about-us/reports-and-presentations/presentations-and-posters/ * Added 53 scientific publications (Jan. 2018): http://www.stopbmsb.org/about-us/scientific-publications/ * Updated text (Mar. 2018): http://www.stopbmsb.org/stink-bug-basics/origins-of-bmsb/ * Updated map (Jan. 2018): http://www.stopbmsb.org/where-is-bmsb/state-by-state/ * Restructured, added IPM-CPR info (Mar. 2018): http://www.stopbmsb.org/managing-bmsb/behavioral-and-landscape/ * Updated map, links to additional publications (Mar. 2018): http://www.stopbmsb.org/biological-control/samurai-wasp-trissolcus-japonicus/

Outputs
Target Audience:We have reached growers, homeowners, extension agents, university researchers, the crop protection industry, and the broaderscientific community with our efforts. Homeowners,master gardeners, and other interested members of the public were introduced to BMSB ecology andinvolved incitizen science projects. We trainedstudents and the next generation of potential scientists in brown marmorated stink bug ecology, integrated pest managment practices, research methods, and extension outreach.Students were also integral participants in outreach education activities, including presentations, hands-on demonstrations, and publications. Changes/Problems: Nothing Reported What opportunities for training and professional development has the project provided?Training was provided to 59 undergraduate, 19 graduate and 10 postdoctoral students who conducted research supported by this project. Professional development opportunies included presentation of results by graduate students and co-PIs at several professional meetings, including the BMSB IPM Working Group meeting, Cumberland-Shenandoah Fruit Workers Conference, Entomological Society of American National and Branch Meertings, and the International Heteroptera Symposium. How have the results been disseminated to communities of interest?Results have been disseminated through oral presentations at extension meetings and professional meetings, published journal manuscripts, extension publications, and numerous websites maintained by co-PIs as well as the overall project website StopBMSB.org. What do you plan to do during the next reporting period to accomplish the goals?Studies will continue as outlined in the project summary.

Impacts
What was accomplished under these goals? Impact: The brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) is an invasive pest native to Asia that is a serious pest of fruits, vegetables and nut crops. Since its introduction in the eastern US in the 1990s, it has spread to 43 states. Populations are most intense in the Mid-Atlantic region, but are rapidly increasing in the Midwest and western US. Current management of BMSB is dependent on frequent applications of broad-spectrum pyrethroid and neonicotinoid insecticides, which has disrupted long-standing IPM programs that relied on selective insecticides, semiochemial tools, and biological control. Disruption of this system has led to economic losses due to direct damage to crops and increased insecticide use to control secondary pests previously under biological control. This transdisciplinary project brings together >40 scientists representing 18 institutions in 17 states from across the USA to develop a national plan to manage BMSB in US specialty crops. A national monitoring program in 43 different ecoregions across the USA demonstrated that BMSB abundance and phenology varied with length of time it was established in a region, availability of host plants, and climate. Studies on the impact of native biological control agents in regulating BMSB showed that parasitoids and predators were more effective in forested compared to agricultural settings. Surveys for adventive populations of the exotic parasitoid Trissolcus japonicus (samurai wasp) showed minimal expansion from sites where it was detected in 2016, suggesting release programs may be necessary to accelerate establishment in new areas. Management strategies based on behavior of BMSB were successfully used to suppress BMSB damage and minimize impacts on orchard natural enemies; a pheromone-lure attract and kill approach and an orchard border spray program. These studies have provided critical information needed to help identify where BMSB is likely to become established as a pest of specialty crops, and how to manage the pest in a manner that is compatible with biological control. Objective 1: A nationwide BMSB monitoring program used sticky panel pheromone traps was conducted to measure the abundance and phenology of BMSB in different ecoregions of the US. It included 145 trapping sites (435 traps) dispersed over 25 ecoregions in 16 states from April to September. BMSB host plants adjacent to each trapping site were recorded to aid in explaining variation. Additional detection trap sites were established in areas where BMSB is expanding, principally in CA, UT, WA and MN. While the analysis is not yet complete, factors found to be important in explaining variation include ecoregion, length of time BMSB has been established, and local host plant fauna near trapping sites. Large variation in trap captures, even within ecoregions where BMSB is well established, suggests that the pest status, and hence need for management actions, is dependent on local factors. Analysis of the nationwide data set will provide insight into factors that affect BMSB abundance and pest status across and within ecoregions. Damaging populations of BMSB were detected for the first time in Utah tree fruits and CA nut crops. Objective 2: As a landscape level pest that moves among agriculture, urban and non-managed habitats, BMSB management within any one system will have minimal impact on population abundance on an areawide basis. BMSB population regulation is be most influenced by biological control across agroecosystems. Studies have shown that native natural enemies are not well adapted to BMSB and have generally had minimal impact on population regulation. In wooded habitats, certain Trissolcus and Anastatus spp. can parasitize high numbers of BMSB eggs within a mass, but total masses parasitized were low. To improve the impact of biological control of BMSB across agroecosystems, an egg parasitoid native to Asia (Trissolcus japonicus - samurai wasp) is being evaluated in quarantine in CA and DE for use in a classical biological control program. Risk assessment studies are nearly complete, and a petition to release this parasitoid is expected to be prepared in the coming year. However, the discovery of adventive populations of T. japonicus in 2015 and 2016 in the mid-Atlantic and Pacific Northwest led to programs to monitor the spread of these individuals from points of original detection. With 13 cooperators across 12 states using sentinel eggs to detect T. japonicus, only one new detection occurred in 2017 - in a NJ peach orchard. Evidence suggests spread of this exotic parasitoid is slow, and release of quarantine or redistribution of adventive populations may be necessary to accelerate widespread establishment. Objective 3: Biological control is expected to reduce BMSB to sporadic or occasional pest status, and management programs to mitigate damage will need to be compatible with biological control. Studies identified selective pesticides to preserve beneficials, developed monitoring programs to dictate the need for pesticides, and management strategies based on knowledge of the behavior of BMSB. Studies correlated BMSB captures in traps with damage occurring in adjacent crops of tree fruits and vegetables. Trap captures did not always fluctuate with BMSB populations or damage in crops, possibly due to host plants interfering with BMSB response to traps. There was a strong correlation between damage by first generation adults and degree-day accumulations from April 12. Experiments assessed the effects of organic insecticides on Telenomus podisi and Anastatus reduvii, and only sponosad had negative effects. Two strategies based on knowledge of the behavior of BMSB were effective in controlling BMB compared to whole orchard sprays. An attract and kill technique used high dose pheromone lures to attract bugs to specific trees on the periphery of orchards that were then sprayed with insecticides. A border spray program limited insecticide sprays to the border of the orchard, which preserved beneficials in the interior of the orchard. Several uses of deltamethrin-infused netting were examined for management of BMSB in vegetables and apples. The netting protected pepper crops from BMSB damage when used as a barier. Also, ghost nets (insecticide netts with pheromone lures at 50 meter intervals between a wooded habitat and apple orchard) were found to kill as many as 900 BMSB per week. These approaches all represent strategies to manage BMSB in a manner compatible with preservation of biological control agents. Additional studies will focus on improving the economics of each system and evaluating effects on natural enemies. Objective 4: An on-line survey to assess the economic impact of BMBS and the willingness of the public to pay for biological control was developed. The survey obtained IRB approval for use in an on-line environment, and will be conducted in year 2. Objective 5: The outreach component contributed to inspiring the next generation of invasive pest scientist by training 59 undergraduate, 19 graduate and 10 post-doctoral students. StopBMSB.org, served as the key knowledge repository for the project, and was extensively modified to reflect the project scope and include partners from additional states and institutions. Partnership with the University of Georgia's Center for Invasive species and Ecosystem Health provided an updated map of BMSB captures at the county level across the USA. The NEIPM Center maintains six email listservs with a total of 350 unique subscribers to which information on BMSB is provided. The website received 88,264 unique visitors in year 1. Regional stakeholder advisory meetings were held to update stakeholders on project progress and to obtain feedback on the project. A national stakeholder advisory meeting was held in Raleigh NC was attended by 14 stakeholders and 24 co-PIs.
