Western Saw Fly Pest Damages Manitoba Wheat
Reports from Manitoba farmers and the Manitoba Agricultural College warn that the Western Saw Fly offspring infest wheat stalks, injuring up to twenty percent of crops in southern districts. The larva bores inside stems, causing premature ripening and lodging, with adult flies appearing in June and laying eggs near stem tips. Remedies include burning stubble after harvest, deep fall plowing to bury larvae, and plowing summer fallow fields before June to prevent fly emergence. Readers are urged to obtain the Farmer's Advocate and Echo issue for more details.
