Abstract
Feeding damage by Lygus hesperus Knight to seedlings of onions, radishes, turnips, rape, clovers, alfalfa, lentils, peas, beans, dill, and carrots ranged from slight with full recovery to relatively heavy damage and mortality of young seedlings. Crucifer, forage, and umbellifer seedlings were the most heavily damaged, whereas damage to bean, pea and lentil seedlings was light or quickly outgrown.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
