Cotton leaf worms now invading
cotton fields are a definite menace
especially where a crop of bolls is
yet immature, W. C. Nettles, Ex
tension Entomologist, warns farm
ers through County Farm Agent R.
D. Suber. It is unusual for leaf
worms to defoliate plants early
enough to cause premature opening
of bolls in South Carolina, but with
much of the crop late and weevil
damage practically absent, leaf
worms may be profitably held in
check this season, he says.
Mr. Nettles reports that farmers
in the Beech Island section of
Aiken County, on the advice of
County Agent H. A. Woodle, dem
onstrated that calcium arsenate
effectively controls young worms
when applied at the rate of six
pounds per acre. Hundreds of acres
were dusted during the last week
in August to prevent premature
opening of bolls. W. R. Gray,
Greenville county agent, reported
September 7 that leaf worms had
already appeared in his section and
expressed fear over possible dam
age.
Considerable judgment is neces
sary in deciding when worms
should be po$!fbned to prevent crop
injury, and 1 County Agent Suber
desires to know of serious out
breaks in this county so that he
may advise concerning control
measures. He says that full infor
mation on the leaf worm may be
found in Extension Bulletin 96,
“Important Field Crop Insects”,
which is obtainable from county
farm agents or from the Publica
tions Department at Clemson Col
lege.
