caused by the brown marmorated stink
bug (BMSB) to the 2010 apple
crop, according to an estimate released by the U.S. Apple Association

$1.7 billion in local government expenditures
and approximately $830 million in lost residential
property values every year, according to study
by a research team that included scientists with
