BY WILLIAM BARROW Agricultural Kxtension Agent Japanese beetles arc probably the best rccognizcd and the least under stood ornamental pest in Brunswick County. The Calabash and Shallottc areas have seen major infestations in 1983 and 1989. Knowing certain things about this insect's life cycle aids in its control. Japan ese beetles em erge from hi bernation in late May and feed on plants until early August. The first beetles arc generally ci ted in the south ern end of the barrow county around Memorial Day. During this time period they mate and lay eggs, preferably in grass sod. After a short period, the eggs hatch and the young begin to feed grass roots near the surfacc. Feeding continues near the sur GARDENING TIPS facc until early Octobcr. As the soil temperature declines, the grub bur rows deeper into the soil. Through out the winter and early spring, the soil icmpeiatuic rises and the now mature grubs come closer to the surface. Feeding continues, and the adults emerge again in late May. We can relate these stages of the beetle's life cycle to its control. First, once the becdcs emerge, wc can treat the plants on which Jiey feed. This often makes us feel better and will protect the plant; however, it docs little to lessen the real prob lem. Treatment while the beetles are in the grub stage is the most effec tive. As with any pest, it is easier to control the smaller immature grubs than the adults. For this reason, treatment of Japanese beetles dur ing August is preferred. Treatment of the soil for grubs during June and July is not effective. For ihc best control, use appro priate chemicals and application techniques. Diazinon works well when applied to the soil surface and watered in. However, some resi dents fail to irrigate after applica tion, which significantly reduces control. Milky Spore is an equally effec tive but slower acting method. When applied to the soil, this com mercially available bacteria intccts the grub and produces a disease. A number of county residents treated with Milky Spore in the early 80's and appear to have been successful. Late September or early October is the best time to apply the spore. Once established, the Milky Spore disease will spread naturally to adjoining uni/catcd areas. Kcsi results occur when whole neighbor hoods cooperate and treat during the same season. Choose your control technique ? the time to take action will be here soon. m mtmmm Together 50 Years Clarence Christopher and Annie Milliken Canady of Fayetteville cel ebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Aug. 5 with a party at the Catalpa Bible Way Church reception hall.
