PEST MANAGEMENT REPORT NEWS ABOUT
INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT IN GLASSCOCK, REAGAN AND UPTON COUNTIES |
|||
|
GENERAL SITUATION Cotton is quickly
racing to maturity in most fields. SCOUT SAFETY If you treat the field the scouts are checking and the re-entry interval has not expired, please let them know so they will not unnecessarily be exposed to the insecticides. BOLLWORMS Eggs ranged from 0-2000 per acre or 0-4 per 100 plants. Small worms ranged from 0-1500 per acre or 0-3 per 100 plants. Egg lay and worm activity is scattered and low at this time. PINK BOLLWORMS Trap catches ranged from 0-8 per night this week. |
APHIDS Very
low numbers of aphids can be found.
Numbers have not reached economic thresholds yet but we are seeing some egg-lay and stink bug nymphs.
