Stations Hints to Canegrowers
Entomologist Mr. E Jarvis from Merlinga reports for November. Warmer weather in October increased upper moisture aiding early emergence of greyback beetles. Since 1974 eight annual emergences occurred in December, five in November, two in October, and one in January. Browers should begin collecting beetles on feeding trees as soon as they appear on the wing. Identify trap trees near native figs and Eucalyptus for congregations. Clear ground litter to aid collection and continue daily for about five weeks from flight onset. Record emergence dates to help fumigation timing and cane grub control. Regardless of farm size, timely pest control prevents losses. delays incur costs. A spray pump is useful for insects, ticks, and disinfectants. a bucket pump under £3 is suggested. For field work, a knapsack pump around 34 gallons aids spraying army worms and caterpillars. When purchasing brass or copper pumps, ensure an efficient agitator and large compression cylinder for even distribution. Clean thoroughly after use to extend pump life.
