Root Moegof Control
Under Laboratory Study

An Alaskan scientist is study
ing the Tenritory's most wide
spread insect crop pest, the root
maggot. DR.. Richard H. Wash
burn, Alaska Agricultural Elk
pertinent Station entomologist,
anticipates that his project to
control the gardeners and farm
er's most persistent enemy will
take five years and include work
in the Matanuska and Tanana
Valleys and the Kenai Peninsula.
Root maggots are small, whit
ish worms fly larvae that attack
radishes, turnips, some greens,
and all members of the cabbage
family. Found from the tip Of
Southeastern Alaska as far north
and east as gardens are grown,
the root maggot does the most
widespread and consistent in
sect damage in the Territory. Iso-
lated homestead gardens on
newly cleared land and well-de-
velopd commercial truck farms
suffer equally from three species.
The maggots will get worse as
more land is cultivated if host
plants like the common wild
mustard are allowed to increase,
DR.. Washburn stated. At present
chemical insect killers have
eased the problem.
1--WE will continue to study
chemical control measures with
an eye for new and better ma
trials" said DR.. Washburn, "but
we will also be looking for posi-
bic parasites and diseases that
might be used as maggot control
measures"
The scientists laboratory in
cludes a specially constructed
bug house with carefully
screened cages for the root mag
gots under observation.
