Farmers learn cutworm control after bad year
Farmers in Indiana and Ohio report heavy black cutworm damage in 1994 affecting corn stands, especially in no till fields. Agronomist Paul Buchmeier says the season was the worst in 16 years and now recommends preventative at plant insecticide treatments to curb future losses. Reports from Lincoln area grower Robert Meinershagen note 10 to 15 percent stand reduction and visible control with Lorsban 15G.
