Brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB) is an invasive stink bug species that has been causing economic damage to almonds in California in the last 3 to 4 years in the northern San Joaquin Valley. In this talk, Dr. Jhalendra Rijal, UCCE Area IPM Advisor, discussed the identification and biology of the pest and ways to monitor this pest in almond orchards. He also talked about the biology and feeding nature of other native stink bugs and leaffooted bugs that may be present in an almond orchard.
