Here is this week’s High Plains IPM Update and a Cotton Jassid Update.

Drought conditions on the High Plains and it shows.  Pests trying to focus on ‘greener fields.’  Cotton Jassid found in Texas, but not the High Plains yet.

July 31, 2026 Plains Pest Management Newsletter

Due to some website changes within the Texas A&M AgriLife system, PDF files cannot be uploaded to our county website and linked to for the time being.  They will be released here in this format until this can be resolved.  Or you can subscribe to receive your own copy in PDF format via email by emailing me at blayne.reed@ag.tamu.edu and asking for a PPM Newsletter subscription.

 

Fields are either too dry to attract insects, or the insects are clustering in them for survival.  Here is this week’s edition of the Plains Pest Management Newsletter.
