Also in the attachment is the percent control of a long list of insecticides for kudzu bug (courtesy of Jeremy Greene at University of Georgia and Phillip Roberts at Clemson University). If you are at kudzu bug threshold (1 nymph per sweep) and decide to treat your field, you may want to consider a product (or one with similar active ingredients) from the list that has a high percent control. When choosing a product, please keep in mind any other pests that are present in your field. And, please read and follow the label. Additional information: kudzu-bug-distribution-va-2013-pdf
