Table 6.
Percentage of Kudzu bug egg mortality due to predation and unknown factors, and proportion of hatched individuals in soybean during 2017 and 2018, at one field site, Beltsville [Central Maryland (CM)], across three post-harvest treatments following corn harvest. For the three treatments, CC denotes cover crop planted in corn residue/stubble; CP represents chisel plowed (conventional tillage) plot; and CS (corn stubble) no action.
