Fall Armyworm Damage Can Be Acute
Dear Plant Doctor: My beauti
ful bermuda grass lawn is being eat
en up by worms. 1 have enclosed
several specimens lor you to exam
ine. What are these things aiul what
is a safe, environmental method of
killing them? Thanks.
Answer: You have enclosed the
larvae of the fall army worm ll.uph
ygynui fru^ipcrda). Fall armywonn
larva prefer plants in tJie grass fami
ly but will eat just about any green
plant when hungry. Farmers often
have problems with fall armywortns
on corn and sorghum .
The fall armyworm is classified
as a tropical insect. The adult form
of this insect is an innocuous Ux>k
ing small brown moth. In the south
ern United States moth populations
grow rapidly early in the season.
These moths swarm northward as
the growing season progresses, of
ten being helped along by hurri
canes or tropical storms.
When the moths find "green"
suitable for dining, then the females
begin to deposit clusters of eggs on
the green leaf tissue. A healthy fe
male nioth can lay over 1 ,(XX) eggs.
In several days the small larvae
emerge and begin feeding, and feed
ing and feeding. Larvae have the
tendency to cat all the green leaf or
stem tissue on the plant. When pre
sent in great numbers, the effect of
these armies of larvae on turf grass
and other crops is very impressive.
I have seen large areas of bermu
da grass turf defoliated in 24 hours
to 4X hours. In fields with a heavy
fall army infestation (locks of birds
will often be seen in a feeding fren
zy.
When the larvae mature, they
burrow into the ground and pupate.
In two to three weeks the pupae
hatch into a new crop of adult
moths and the cycle continues until
cold temperatures kill existing in
sects.
Fall armyworm outbreaks are un

predictable, highly localized and
vary greatly in severity. By the time
you find lull armyworni damage,
most of the damage has already
been done. Turf grass severely dam
aged by the fall armyworm is highly
prone to winter injury and damag
ing pests.
Several approaches can be taken
to control the damage of these in
sects. Insecticides such as carbaryl
(Sevin), dia/inon (Spectracide),
chlorpyrilos (Dursban) or acephatc
(Orthene) will quickly kill the fall
armyworm larvae.
In many cases, birds and other
natural predators will eventually
control the outbreak of fall army
worm.
Another alternative is to plant
grass species that lall armyworms
do ik>i like u> cat. Centipede grass,
/oysia grass ami bahiu grass arc
raa'ly damaged by tall armyworm
feeding.
IK-ar riant Doctor: I have en
clttsed a plant lor you to identify.
What is it and where can I got more
of it?
Answer: You have enclosed a
specimen of laniana ( laniana c<i
nuira). I quickly reviewed through a
number ol gardening catalogs and
reference lxx>ks and could lnul very
little specific information about lan
iana.
Lantana is the only ornamental
plant I have ever known to actually
thrive on neglect. I have grown lan
tana plants from cuttings or divi
sions. This spring I saw specimens
for sale in local garden centers.
Laniana is in the Verbena plant
family ami in some parts of Asia is
considered a noxious weed. Flower
colors range from yellow to orange
to light blue. The plant is a great
low maintenance flowering perenni
al but will spread quickly into other
flower beds. Purple berry seed clus
ters in autumn can seed new plants
into undesirable locations.
