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.
