The company said GRANDEVO and VENERATE are advanced broad-spectrum bioinsecticides that offer protection against chewing and sucking insects and mites including thrips, whiteflies, Asian citrus psyllid, armyworms and other pest caterpillars,
Lygus bug, mealybugs, and soil-inhabiting pests.
Population dynamics of four insect genera including jassid (Amrasca bigutella bigutella), aphid (Uroleucon carthami),
lygus bug (Lygus Hesperus K.) and pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera Hub.); and two beneficial insect genera named green lacewing (Chrysoperla chornea) and ladybird beetle (Coccinella septempunctata Linn.) were monitored.

Charlet exonerated the fungus and are now pointing at the
lygus bug, also known as the tarnished plant bug.
Parasites--including Peristenus wasp species, whose larvae develop inside
Lygus bug nymph stages.
The alfalfa plant bug, Adelphocoris lineolatus Goeze; tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris Palisot; and
lygus bug, L.
[40] compared pest population between organic and conventionally grown cotton, found
Lygus bugs significantly more abundant in the organic than in the conventional fields.
These success stories have reordered the ranking of insect pests in many cotton fields, bringing to the forefront a long list of piercing-sucking insects, and at the top of that list are the
lygus bugs.
UC Riverside entomology professor Vern Stern made critical contributions to IPM science; in 1966,
lygus bugs, an important cotton pest, were segregated in his lab.
