Cutworms Ravage Corn in Ap Panoose County
The ordinary cutworm is causing heavy corn losses across Ap Panoose County. Infestations are worst on flat land with dry topsoil and crusted soil pushing worms below the surface. Some fields have insecticide but control remains elusive as worms stay active underground. Insects live 10 to 14 days. replanting guidance advises aldrin or heptachlor use or planting beans, or wait until worms reach about 1 inch before action. Call the Extension Office for details.
