To evaluate the changes in tarnished plant bug (TPB) pest status in cotton over 30 years and review potential control strategies.
Analyzed historical pest status data of TPB in cotton over three decades.
Reviewed agricultural changes affecting TPB populations, including crop acreage and pest management techniques.
Assessed effectiveness of non-insecticidal control measures against TPB.
TPB has shifted from a minor pest to the primary pest of cotton in the mid-South.
Insecticide resistance in TPB populations has developed against several common insecticides.
Increased acreage of reproductive hosts like soybean and maize has further supported TPB populations.

G. L. Snodgrass (2014) studied this question.
