TWO - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, October 20, 1993 Watch for Russian wheat aphid Morrow County wheatgrowers with early seeded winter wheat should check their fields for Rus sian wheat aphid, suggests Gilliam-Morrow Crops agent Phil Nesse. “ Fieldman report some fields with up to 10 percent infestation in Morrow and Gilliam counties, with reports of much higher levels in Benton and Klickitat counties of Washington,” notes Nesse. Keith Pike, Washington State University Entomologist at the Prosser Experiment Station, recently suggested in a newslet ter that growes use insecticide sprays this fall if an infestation exceeds 10 percent in two to four leaf what, or 20 to 40 percent (or more) in tillered wheat. Many grower question the need to control Russian wheat aphid in the fall. Wheat, they argue, com pensates for fall injury. According to Pike, plants can compensate for Russian wheat aphid injury if the damage is not too severe and if growing condi tions are favorable. His research in Washington indicates that it is usually cost effective to spray at the aphid levels given above.
