Under the condition of rearing environment, photoperiod L/D=16 h/8 h,temperature (25±1) ℃, relative humidity 75% to 85%. We tested the preference of Adelphocoris suturalis Jakovlev adults for three different types of nutrition and the effects of the nutrition on the development, survival and fecundity of the insects. The results showed that kidney bean＋honey could attract most bugs, which was significantly different from the other two types of nutrition, namely kidney bean and kidney bean + pollen. The nymphal period, fecundity and hatching rate of the insects were significantly different after they were fed with different types of nutrition, which proved that different types of nutrition could arouse different effects on their development and reproduction. 
