An extension entomologist says army cutworm has been prevalent in some western Kansas wheat and triticale fields.
Anthony Zukoff with Kansas State University says, “We had a very large flight of the moths coming into Kansas last fall, and so a lot of eggs were laid and this spring we’re seeing increased activity, a caterpillar feeding, in wheat and triticale and a little bit of activity in alfalfa.”
He tells Brownfield the pest can cause some crop damage.
