Potential of host-switching in Nezara viridula (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) to enhance survival and reproduction

Abstract

Survival and development of nymphs, and reproductive performance of adults fed on a combined diet of poor host plant species, was inferior in comparison with individuals fed an optimal diet. Adults can partially recover from poor nutrition experienced early in adulthood, but overall performance was still inferior to bugs fed an optimal diet. -from Authors
