OVERVIEW
Stink bug and bollworm populations are increasing, but this is just the beginning for some areas. Although spotty in Louisiana and Arkansas, some growers in these areas are still fighting an uphill battle with plant bugs. Aphids and spider mites are popping up in Mississippi but reports of the Fungus wiping out aphid populations across the Midsouth is promising.
Fall armyworms move north with reports in Louisiana declining as the fight in Tennessee ramps up. Consistent with past reports, pyrethroid misses are still occurring, but the alternatives are becoming hard to get ahold of.
