County Agents Warn of Bollworms and Army Worms Infestations
County agents report bollworms appearing in cotton fields across the county and urge field checks at least twice weekly. Detect five or six small worms per 100 plants to justify insecticide use such as DDT variants, Sevin, and parathion. Army worms are damaging grain fields and may move to cotton, with control using Parathion 15 days, Malathion 0 days, Sevin 0 days, and Toxophene 26 days. Chinch bugs in grain are treated with the same recommended insecticides. spray with caution near hay fields.
