Book Description
The sorghum midge is one of the most damaging insect pests of grain sorghum in Texas. Loss estimates from this insect have exceded $10 million in all sorghum-producing counties of Texas except in the northern Panhandle and the Trans-Pecos. Early uniform planting of grain sorghum within a given area is the best means of avoiding damage by this pest. When this is not practiced, insecticidal control is often necessary to present severe losses. Research has shown that most effective control is obtained when insecticides are applied at the time blooms first appear on the grain heads. Control data with insecticides and methods of determining the damage by the sorghum midge in grain sorghum are reported. The greenbug attacked large acreages of grain sorghum in texas in 1968 and 1969. This insect is very damaging to small plants and capable of causing serious plant stand reductions. Small plants, 5 inches tall, died within 4 days when insecticide was not applied to conrol a population of 2,700 greenbugs per plant. Significant yield increases were obtained in 1969 by controlling greenbugs with granular disulfoton (Di-System) used as a soil treatment either at planting time or at a later sidedress. (...).

Book Description
Excerpt from Release of Parasitoids to Control Greenbugs on Sorghum The cost of chemical control, the resistance of the greenbug and the Banks grass mite to insecticides, and the killing of beneficial predators and parasites by insecticides warrant alternatives for controlling greenbugs. Host plant resistance seems to be the most practical long-range alternative, but farmers need as many control Options as possible. Release of parasitoids was studied as a possible control of greenbugs on sorghum. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
