Illustration of stink bug feeding damage on soybean pods. Closed (a, b) and opened (c, d) soybean pods. a, c demonstrate a healthy pod and b, d a stink bug-damaged pod. Pods from non-infested plants reached the developmental stage R6 (full seed development) at the end of the experiment whereas pod development on infested plants was halted at R5 (beginning seed filling) and their pods showed tissue discoloration due to stink bug feeding activity.
