temperature, host plant
• Seasonal migration
• Monitoring, trapping, attractant pheromone
• Effects on plant development
• Pesticide testing and timing
• Biological Control
• Current / Projected Distribution

Historical Geographic Range:
- African origins (also India, Pakistan, SE Asia, parts of Italy)
- Outbreaks common, dependent on weather conditions and food availability
- Wide host plant range (mainly crucifers, but also grasses and grains, potatoes, some legumes…)

Female and Male Adult Bagrada hilaris

Oviposition
• ~3-4 days after adult emergence
• Females produce ~10 eggs/day
• Undersides of leaves, cracks & crevices, hairy stems of non-host plants
![Page 12: Bagrada bug: biology, host range and effects on cole crops](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022040506/6249d5e96574f901cc50c828/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Oviposition
• ~3-4 days after emergence
• Females produce ~10 eggs/day
• Undersides of leaves, cracks & crevices, hairy stems
• Go from adult reproductive quiescence to young feeding nymphs in ~12-14 days.
• Eggs often laid on non-biological structures, e.g. row cover, shade cover

Control Measures
• Cultural Control – Reduce weedy mustards, remove post-harvest
vegetation
– Monitoring, proximity crops
– Row covers?
– Trap crops and borders?
• Biological Control – Predators
– Parasitoids

Biological Control
• Diptera: Sarcophagidae, Tachinidae
• Hymenoptera: Scelionidae (Trissolcus, Telenomus)
• Telenomus podisi
• Ooencyrtus sp.

Control Measures
• Cultural Control – Reduce weedy mustards, remove post-harvest vegetation – Monitoring, proximity crops – Row covers? – Trap crops and borders?
• Biological Control – Predators – Parasitoids
• Chemical Control – Early pyrethroids – Later neonicotinoids

• Foliar: – Chlorpyrifos (Lorsban) – Bifenthrin (Capture) – Fenpropathrin (Danitol) – Methomyl (Lannate) – Dinotefuran (Venom) – Spirotetramat (Movento) – Cyazypyr – Novaluron – Pyrifluquinazone
• Systemic:
– Imidacloprid (Admire) – Thiamethoxam (Platinum)
Insecticides

• Bifenthrin (pyrethroid) most potent against Bagrada
• Chlorpyrifos (organophosphate) is also toxic to Bagrada
• Neonicotinoids similarly active
• Movento not very active against immatures
• Cyazypyr less active
• Pyrifluquinazon has some activity

Behavior
• Patterns of Activity
– Late Risers
– Warm-temperature insect on cold-temperature plants
– Often coupled as adults
– Fly readily during hottest part of the day
– Drop when disturbed
– Extremely localized activity

Bagrada Bug Management Tips for the Low Desert
Fields near these areas may be at high risk:
- grassy areas (including sudangrass)
- weedy drains, river bottoms
- residential areas
- lush desert habitat
Monitoring and Scouting:
- Sampling before 9:00 am may be misleading
- Look for damage on cotyledons and young leaves
- Look for adults on undersides of cotyledons and leaves
- Keep your eyes on the soil underneath plants
Control:
- In high risk areas, chemigate at emergence (~4 d)
- Once pipe is pulled consider using the following products:
1. Pyrethroids ( Brigade, Mustang, Warrior)
2. Lannate / Lorsban
3. Venom / Scorpion / Belay
