Insect Situation in New Madrid County Spraying urged for grasshoppers and aphids
Grasshoppers are increasing and may require spraying to protect pastures and hay crops. Do not turn livestock in for two weeks after spraying and avoid spraying hay crops within two weeks of cutting. Watch for damage and spray when concentrated. Corn earworms inflict more damage but control not usually needed unless many plants are infested. Toxaphene at two pounds per acre can help. Corn leaf aphids on corn and sorgums show coppery leaf discoloration before spraying with 4 ounces of parathion by a professional operator. Green striped maple worms are reemerging and can be controlled with a power sprayer faced with adequate equipment.
