Hessian Fly Threat Expands In Wheat Fields
In Essex and Kent counties the Hessian Fly pupa stage was found in multiple fields during a survey by BE A Summers and assistant. Some fields showed up to ten percent of wheat damaged. If the insect spreads, a sizable loss next year is likely, though parasites may help control it. Farmers in Durham are advised not to sow tall wheat this year and to plant wheat between September 8 and 15 to avoid peak infestation.
