Today, we found a field south of Victoria with alarming numbers of false chinch bugs in some of the sorghum heads. After scouting around the field, I determined the field was averaging somewhere between  20 and 50 false chinch bugs per head.

Cotton maturity ranges from germinating to 2 leaf. Cotton planted in the last week has been emerging in  5-6 days. This quick emergence is due to warm temperatures and adequate soil moisture. More here: https://t.co/v4CXbbkkKn

Corn and sorghum harvest is well underway. Soybeans and cotton fields are maturing rapidly. We are finding stink bugs in some cotton and soybean fields but the decision to treat depends on the maturity of the crop. Looking for Harvest Aid Trial locations. https://t.co/4nVi7ttQzz

I am beginning to find bean thrips in soybean fields. So far the feeding injury is minimal as populations are under 1 or leaf. Keep an eye on them as we tend to see them more in dry years. ET~10 per leaf.
