Cane grub control study yields promising methods

The director at Experiment Station reports ten years of research on cane grub control near Cairns Maine. Comprehensive trials show practical methods to attack the pest during larval and pupal stages, with effectiveness in two to three months. December January crop protection reduces beetle activity, and destroying pupae attached to crops limits infestation until next year.

Cane Beetles Menace Tied to Weather and Experiments

In this report the cane beetle emergence is linked to seasonal rainfall and climatic changes. Observations note experimental planting and natural control attempts, with failures in 1921 and 1922 due to erratic rain patterns. December dryness and November rainfall shaped beetle activity, delaying or reducing outbreaks.
