Corn Field Sprayed To Fight Beetles In Montgomery County
A 40 acre corn field in Montgomery County was sprayed by plane using Zitt Organic Chemicals to combat a Tapanees beetle outbreak. County Agent Shoemaker said damage may be worse economically than to other crops, though some experts doubt the impact on sugar corn. He noted beetles are waning by mid August and canning may not start locally until late next week. Shrubbery damage and tomato rot are also reported, blamed largely on weather conditions.
