Rains in the last weeks may cause serious cutworm infestation in some Appanoose county corn fields. For years Appanoose County has seen black cutworms in low areas as Harold Gunderson, extension entomologist at Iowa State University, notes flights of black cutworm moths have been reported.
Early April to now, moths lay eggs in low wet areas and outbreaks occur in flooded fields. The black cutworm hides by day and feeds at ground level at night, damaging corn when plants reach 6 to 8 inches tall. If control is applied early, 2 pounds toxaphene or 0.25 pounds enctin per acre in 10 gallons water over the row can protect stands, with trials using diazinon granules at Tim Cowan and Loren Eddy farms.
Federal and state veterinarians plan immediate notices to farms within five miles of new hog cholera outbreaks. Vaccination efforts target large herds with modified virus vaccines and sera.
