Extract

Lygus simonyi has been found to cause serious damage to cotton in Uganda, by sucking the young leaves and apical buds, by retarding the growth of the branches, and by sucking the young bolls.

There are indications that soil and climatic factors are of importance in controlling this insect ; excessive succulence of the plant appears to be one factor associated with severe damage.
