Damage Signs
Lygus feeds by piercing cell membranes. This activity affects the subsequent cell division in the area of feeding resulting in sunken, callused lesions that could become necrotic with time. Egg laying injury is also associated with lesions. Adults lay eggs in the midrib areas of the leaf. The injury initially appears as holes or pits on the midrib and later expands into lesions.
