Army Worm In Alfalfa Threat Courts Farmers Invasions
Local farmers report army worm damage in alfalfa with worms forming long windrows as Hessian fly also appears. Entomologists summarize that army worms are larvae of a brown moth, with eggs laid near roots and hatching in 8 to 10 days. Full grown larvae are about 1.25 inches long with yellowish stripes, feeding by night and entering ground to pupate, then reemerging as moths. Control methods include deep plowing, rolling, harrowing, discing, burning stubble, and crop rotation, to kill larvae and prevent outbreaks.
