Wheat Stem Sawfly Threat to Western Canadian Crops
Major Strange of the Agricultural Research Department warns the wheat stem sawfly now damages crops from Manitoba to the Rockies. Entomologists favor trap crops like oats or especially brome grass around field edges to reduce losses, as cultural methods prove ineffective.
Sawfly Damage In Wheat Requires Cautious Management
The article notes that losses from sawfly damage tend to rise, with partial salvage possible by cutting on the green side before threshing, though this yields lower grain grade. It cites a permanent trap of brome grass as the only cure and urges careful field assessment, while universities and government agriculture departments can provide further guidance on this pest.
