Biles)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Fields beginning to bloom should be inspected for <strong>Sorghum Midge<\/strong>. Begin scouting for midge soon after head emergence when yellow blooms first appear in the field.\u00a0 Scout for sorghum midge at mid-morning when the temperature warms to approximately 85 degrees F. The adult lives for only a day, and each day a new brood of adults emerges.\u00a0 For this reason, flowering fields should be sampled almost daily.<\/p>\n<p>Sorghum midge can be monitored by inspecting carefully and at close range all sides of randomly selected flowering grain heads.\u00a0 Look for the reddish, gnat-like adults crawling on or flying about flowering heads.\u00a0 Handle grain heads carefully during inspection to avoid disturbing adult sorghum midges.\u00a0 Another sampling method is to gently but quickly slip a one-gallon clear plastic bag over the head and tap the head to disturb midge which will fly up in the bag where they can be easily seen and counted.\u00a0 A more rapid yet still efficient method is to turn the head downward into a white plastic bucket or pail and beat the head in the bucket to knock the midge from the head. Remove the head and count any sorghum midge in the pail or bucket. A one-gallon milk jug with the bottom cut out also works well for this type of sampling.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_181\" style=\"width: 293px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/mid-coast-ipm\/files\/2015\/06\/Sorghum-Midge-e1526655399389.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-181\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-181\" src=\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/mid-coast-ipm\/files\/2015\/06\/Sorghum-Midge-e1526655399389-283x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"283\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/agrilife.org\/mid-coast-ipm\/files\/2015\/06\/Sorghum-Midge-e1526655399389-283x300.jpg 283w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/mid-coast-ipm\/files\/2015\/06\/Sorghum-Midge-e1526655399389-967x1024.jpg 967w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/mid-coast-ipm\/files\/2015\/06\/Sorghum-Midge-e1526655399389-768x814.jpg 768w, https:\/\/agrilife.org\/mid-coast-ipm\/files\/2015\/06\/Sorghum-Midge-e1526655399389.jpg 1514w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 283px) 100vw, 283px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-181\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sorghum Midge (Photo by D.
