Insect Troubles Hit Farms As Armyworms Ebb
Agricultural notes report green bugs under control in many fields while armyworms fade in some corn. Spider mites appear in fields carried by winds, with webs and leaf specks indicating presence. Western bean cutworms are found in ears, and a guide to lawn establishment recommends late summer reseeding after grading and soil loosening.

Lawn Establishment and Beetle Egg-Laying Guidance
The article describes soil prep for lawn seeding including drainage, grading, stone removal, seeding depth, mulching, and frequent watering with gradual reduction. It also notes mowing height and weed control. A farmer asks how many adult corn rootworm beetles per plant justify spraying to reduce next year egg lay, citing ideal timing in early August and the need to keep populations under one per plant during egg laying, potentially requiring multiple applications.
