Hessian Fly Safe Date In Polk Co Sept 25
The Hessian Fly safe date for Polk County is September 25. Humidity around 65 percent and 70 degree average temperatures for two weeks trigger adult emergence, but current cold-period data is insufficient to set a formal date beyond the long-used average. Farmers delaying planting wheat after the safe date lower Hessian Fly and Western mosaic infection risks, with Ponca wheat showing strong Hessian Fly resistance and Pawnee resistant to western strains but vulnerable to eastern flies.
