Cutworms Ravage Western Iowa Crops Warned by Ames Expert
Cutworms severely damage first alfalfa crop in western Iowa especially in southern counties and attack clover potatoes tomatoes and young fruit trees. Prof H Summers says the only salvage is to cut infested alfalfa quickly then spray the field for the second crop using arsenite of soda or Paris green with molasses and water. A 60 gallon mix per field is advised with 50 gallons of Paris green solution per acre. Fields should be separated by a harrowed dust mulch or poisoned alfalfa strips between fields to prevent spread.
