Sugarcane Aphids Getting Close
This week, Dr. Katelyn Kesheimer
confirmed sugarcane aphids in sorghum in southern Lubbock County, making this
the farthest north in Texas that the aphids have been found in 2017. Only small
colonies have been found so far, but now might be a good time intensify
scouting efforts in our sorghum. To date, we have not confirmed any in
Hale, Swisher or Floyd yet. SCA do tend to increase quickly following
boot stage. As of this week, I have not noted any sorghum in Hale,
Swisher, or Floyd at this stage yet, but many early planted fields are getting
close.
