Abstract
Host plants utilized by Nezara viridula (L.) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), before invading soybean fields, are listed, the sequence and role of these plants is established. This work was done in the Experimental Field of the Facultad de Ciencias Agropecuarias, Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Argentina. The sampling was done during 4 years (1990/91, 1991/92, 1992/93 and 1993/94), from September to March. The vegetable species where these bugs were more frequently found, in order of preference, belong in Fabaceae, Brassicaceae, Asteraceae, and Poaceae families. On Fabaceae, egg masses and developing nymphs were found; on Brassicaceae, Asteraceae, and Poaceae, individuals were observed feeding and copulating.
