County Agent Urges Farmers To Fight Winter Grain Mites
Infestations of the winter grain mite were found in several fields in the Pecan Grove area during the week. Damage is evident and heavier in land previously planted to grain. Crop rotation helps reduce damage. Mites range 1-23 to 1-16 inch, adults with red legs and dark brown body. They feed at night and stunt plants by sap loss. Control: spray with 1% pints malathion or parathion per acre, with timing cautions on harvest or grazing.
