New Corn Ear Worm Control Ready for Sweet Corn
A new insecticide option has been developed to control corn ear worm on sweet corn and hybrid seed corn as a substitute for pyrethrum. The spray, a styrenabromide mineral oil solution, is applied to the corn silks when ends turn brown and may require multiple treatments as browning is not simultaneous. A hand applicator delivering a 20 drop dose from a half pint container is used.
Feather Fabric Aims to Boost Farm Income
A new feather fabric developed by USDA specialists can be used to produce a warm light and soft textile that resembles wool. It is made by treating feather protein to create a dope that is spun into fibers then set in an acid bath and dried. Feathers offer extra revenue for poultrymen though volume limits reduce threat to cotton or wool.
