County Agent Fights Chinch Bugs Across Greene County
County Agent Calvin Griffith aids farmers in locating chinch bugs as they move from wheat to corn after harvest. In western Greene County outbreaks are worst. Remedies include a creosote barrier with deep furrows and a spray mix of black leaf, laundry soap, and water, or kerosene for endangered plants. If creosote is unavailable, traditional dust mulch or lime mixtures may be used, but rain can ruin the line. Contact the county agent for guidance.
