DODDER CAUSING
DAMAGETOHAY
CROPS IN COUNTY
Dodder has caused a good deal
of damage to lespedeza and alfal
fa fields in scattered areas of
Madison County.
Shelby Ray, a farmer of the
Middle Fork section, had one
field so heavily infested with dod
der that you could reach down and
rake your hand through it almost
anywhere and come up with
enough dodder to build a bird nest.
Dewey Phillips, a Mars HU1
farmer, said that he had one field
of lespedeza so heavily infested
that you could reach down and
grab one corner of the field and
shake the other corner.
Dodder is very seldom a severe
pest of vigorous legume stands;
however, when alfalfa is stunted
due to poor innoculation it can be
come a severe pest. The only
remedy that can save the stand is
to clip the alfalfa and get it off
the field. The addition of ammo
nium nitrate at 75 lbs., to the
acre after tutting may bring the
stand back.
