Sorghum maturity in the Mid-Coast of Texas ranges from flag leaf to soft dough. Insect pests of importance include sugarcane aphids, sorghum midge, stink bugs and headworms.<\/p>\n

Check 10-20 at each of 5-10 locations per field. Look for honeydew on leaves and check those plants and surrounding plants. When you find small\u00a0spots of 3-4 plants with excessive honey dew, mark that location and return 2-3 days later to determine if the infestation has grown or not.<\/p>\n

Blooming sorghum should be checked for sorghum midge which tend to be more of a problem in later blooming sorghum. An economic threshold of 1 per 1-2 heads should trigger control applications.<\/p>\n

Check older heads for headworms and stink bugs using a bucket to beat the heads into. I made a short video to demonstrate the use of the bucket for sampling sorghum heads HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n
