Texas A&M Traps Midge Threat To Sorghum Fields

Entomologist Ernesto Montoya leads a Texas A&M field effort on the midge fly pest feeding on Brain sorghum across the Panhandle. A $5,000 USDA grant backs the study run with the Grain Sorghum Producers Association and Lubbock and Amarillo stations to establish traplines and test laboratories this summer.

Midge Infestation Threatens Grain Sorghum Crops

The pest known as Traptor Pesky Varmi may attack late planted grain sorghum as midge generations surge with spring warmth. In the South Plains last year the infestation damaged 20 to 50 percent of crops, costing millions. Early planting and daily insecticide sprays are discussed as potential controls. Overwintering in grasses and over 4 million acres at risk due to delayed planting are noted.
