Impact of Alfalfa Weevil Treatment on Damsel Bug (Nabis sp.) Populations

This study examines the effects of alfalfa weevil treatments on populations of Damsel bugs (Nabis sp.) in agricultural fields. Adult and nymph specimens were collected using sweep net and suction sampling methods. The data show average counts of Damsel bugs in both treated and untreated fields, providing insights into the biological control potential of these insects. Results emphasize the importance of pest management practices on beneficial insect populations, which can aid in sustainable agriculture.

  1. Figure 1. Damsel bug (Nabis sp.) adults (A) and nymphs (B) in fields treated and untreated for alfalfa weevil. These data represent the average number of specimens obtained per sweep net sample (20 sweeps in a 180 ⁰ arc) combined with the average number of specimens obtained per dvac sample (50 suction contact points with the soil).
