Hessian fly threat to wheat rye barley crops
The Hessian fly ranks as a top pest for wheat and rye with barley at risk when populations surge. It mainly harms wheat and rye, while oats are rarely affected, and fly cycles alternate between abundant and sparse years due to natural parasites.
Pest warns Indiana farmers of Hessian fly surge and timing
Entomologist J Troop of Purdue University warns that Hessian flies may again devastate wheat as numbers rise. He outlines three defense steps: thorough soil prep, heavy fertilization, and late sowing to avoid the fall brood. Field conditions last fall favored late development of the fly.
