By W.S. Young, County Extension Chairman and Larry Locklear, Assoc. Agricultural Extension Agent MANAGING EARWORM The corn earworm is the major insect pest in soybeans. Each year it reduces farm profit by reducing yields and increasing costs. This insect is often respon sible for crop failure at a time of year when the farmer has fully invested in his soybean crop. Corn earworm can be success fully managed in soybeans to prevent yield loss at a low cost. The earworm management program is composed of several factors and is designed to prevent, detect, and control corn earworm. 1. Prevention - Earworm can be prevented or reduced below dam aging levels by making the crop unattractive to egg laying moths, by increasing crop tolerance, and by fully utilizing beneficial insects. The following crop management practices will help prevent earworm losses. Early planting - all varieties will be less attractive to earworms if planted by May IS. Early maturing varieties ? these group V varieties (Forrest. Essex, Coker 136, etc.) will bloom in mid-July, if early planted, and are usually unattractive to egg laying moths (if late planted these varie ties can be severely attacked). Fertility & pH - correct fertility and pH allows for a healthy crop that will close the canopy early closed canopy soybeans are less attractive to earworm moths and harbor more natural enemies. No soil Insecticide - soil insecti cides have not given yield increases except in unusual circumstances but they have frequently prevented the build-up of beneficial insects not using soil insecticides helps beneficial insects; also the unneces sary use of systemic nematicide-in secticides should be avoided. Avoid early season spraying ? spraying before the earworms hit can create severe earworm popula tions by removing beneficial in sects. so don't spray early unless it is justified for foliage feeders. Detection - Not all earworm problems can be prevented and therefore a method of determining when and where earworm build-up occurs is necessary. This can be done quickly and easily with the following scouting procedures: Earworm identification ? since earworms are to be counted the scout must know what to look for--it is a caterpillar with five pair of prolegs, and orange head, small black spots, light colored bands down the body, and is of various colors (worms less than one-half inch are usually brown whereas larger worms may be black, green, yellow, or other colors)--it usually curls up when disturbed-various identification guides are available through the Extension Service and chemical companies. Sample type - earworms are sampled with the "beat-cloth" method; a three-by-three foot sheet is placed between soybean rows and the plants are vigorously shaken over the cloth and corn earworms and stinkbugs are counted--beat cloths are often available through chemical companies and can be easily home made. Threshold - up two corn ear worms. 1/2 inch or longer per row foot (12 per 6 foot beat-cloth sample) can be tolerated without yield loss in average, healthy soybeans--in weak or very lated planted soybeans (July) reduce this threshold to one per row foot. Number of sample* - take a minimum of three samples per field and an average of one sample per three acres (i.e. a 20- A field would get six-seven samples). If the first three samples clearly show very low or very high caterpillar numbers then the total number of samples may be reduced by 50 percent, but not below three. When to sample - sample weekly from the first week in August until the earworms hit in force, then sample three times in two weeks and then weekly until the invasion is over (about first or second week in September). Where to sample - sample all fields but key-in on late planted and open canopied fields-- early planted and early variety fields may need only superficial scouting. Scouting patterns - use an "X . "Z". or "IT shaped patter through each field and do not take samples on the headland, ditch banks, or in poor growth spots--get_a represen tative sample in each field. Keep a record ? with a pencil and pocket notebook keep a check of worm counts for each sample, tield and date. Interpretation of results - spray when two earworms. 1/2 inch or longer, per row foot is met or exceeded otherwise don't spray (some pod damage can be found in fields with less than two/row foot but plants will compensate for this damage and no yield loss will occur). Control - Once an earworm problem is detected a properly applied and timed, effective in secticide is a quick solution. Some considerations for a control pro gram are: Timing - earworms need to be treated while they are small (one inch or less) since they will be easier to kill and little damage will have ocurred--do not wait longer than three davs tor custom application if possible. * ? ? * COUNTY TOUR A County Tour is planned tor August 20 starting at 1 p.m. at the Agricultural Extension Office, ot all On-Farm Tests.
