Spanogonicus Albofasciatus (Hemiptera: Miridae): A Predator in Florida Soybeans
Abstract
The predaceous mirid Spanogonicus albofasciatus (Reuter) was collected in northwestern Florida soybean fields during the summer of 1971. It was most common on young soybean plants, and populations declined rapidly as plants grew. Predation studies in the field indicated that S. albofasciatus is apparently a predator of Heliothis zea (Boddie) and Pseudoplusia includens (Walker) eggs.Downloads
