Harlequin bug, Murgantiahistrionica (Hahn) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae),is a piercingsucking pest of cole crops, causing cosmetic damage in low populations, while heavy pest pressure can kill plants or entire fields. Field studies were conducted to evaluate a trap crop for control of harlequin bug in collard. Field-cage choice tests found that potential trap crop plant species, mustard (Brassica juncea ‘Southern Giant Curled’), rapeseed (B. napus ‘Athena’), rapini (B. rapa), and arugula (Eruca sativa) attracted more harlequin bugs than collard (B. ohraeea ‘Champion’) and a nonbrassica control, bean (Phaseolus vulgaris ‘Bronco’). Mustard was the most consistently selected by harlequin bug over collard in choice tests, and was found to be an effective trap crop for reducing feeding injury on collard at two experimental sites. Augmentation of the mustard trap crop with a systemic, neonicotinoid insecticide provided no added control of harlequin bug for the 10 wk duration in the spring season.
