Fight Hessian Fly At Once In Iowa Wheat Fields
Iowa wheat growers should act now to combat the Hessian fly by plowing under infested wheat stubble and dead volunteers. Early spring plowing buries the flaxseed stage before flies emerge, reducing egg laying and damage. In April adults hatch from flaxseed plants and stubble, producing white maggots that injure wheat. Last year the Hessian fly was reported in 20 counties and likely more, with listed counties including Audubon, Dallas, Cedar, Fremont, Harrison, Henry, Linn, Louisa, Mahaska, Mills, Montgomery, Monona, Page, Pottawattamie, Ringgold, Scott, Story, Taylor, Warren, and Wapello. Suspected fields should have injured plants dug up and sent to the State entomologist at Ames for study.
