With increasing adoption of IPM practices in cotton, green vegetable bugs (GVB) have emerged as important sucking pests causing considerable damage to growing bons (Khan and Bauer 2001, 2002). GVB damage includes black spots at feeding sites on the bon, warty growth inside the bon wall and brown coloured lint. GVB is a polyphagous insect and feeds on a wide variety of field crops including cotton, coin, sunflower, a range of legumes and pulses including adzuki, mung, navy and soybeans, Iucerne, pigeon pea, fruit crops, vegetables and variety of weed hosts including wild turnip, noogoora burr, marshmallow and castor oil. Some of these hosts are more attractive to GVB than others.
