In 1990 and 1991 the Biovac, a tractor-propelled vacuum device, was tested to control tarnished plant bug, Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), populations in a strawberry («Bounty») plantation located at Ste-Anne de la Pérade, Québec, Canada. Two treatments were made in a complete randomized design comprising four replicates: (1) Biovac treatments and (2) control plots (water only). Tarnished plant bug populations were assessed weekly by the saucer pot method. Treatments were done when tarnished plant bug populations exceeded 12 nymphs+adults per 100 taps in the four replicates. Tarnished plant bug populations exceeded the action thresholds six and nine times in 1990 and 1991, respectively.
