SCA found in Lubbock Co

Yesterday, Sunday Jun 25, I found a small colony of sugarcane aphids on sorghum in southern Lubbock. Now is the time to increase scouting efforts if you have any sorghum acreage to keep an eye on this pest.

See this special edition of the Southern High Plains IPM Newsletter of the SCA and check out the Texas Sugarcane Aphid News Blog for management strategies specific to the High Plains!

Call me if you have any questions or concerns.
