They will not be delivered via U.S. Mail after July 1. The reports will be available on the Kansas Department of Agriculture's Internet home page. This report covers the period May 29-June 12. Crops known to be affected include alfalfa, corn and brome. While numbers of worms were not high enough to do much damage to the wheat crop there may be enough present to cause damage to at least the bordering rows of corn.
Moth flights are well underway across the state.
Continue to be of concern in corn. First hatching was noted in a wheat field in Wilson County on June 4th. Some migration to a nearby corn field was noted where damage to the first few rows of corn was light. Up to 30 or more per square yard were noted along the margin of a field in Neosho county. Growers in the southeast portion of the state need to be alert for worms migrating out of nearby wheat.
