armyworms

[donia]

armyworm time, if you’ve got any grains up in holes or plots you may want to check them! gottem all over the yard. spraying now and again in a week or so to get any that were developing during the first treatment.

I have hit my yard twice now. Worked hard all summer getting this yard perfect and the bastards are in there. Sprayed about 3-4 weeks ago in the front and then this past week when I saw one in the dog bowl. It was like the ground was alive when I came over the top with 1.5oz/gal of permethrin.

You just getting a head start on dormancy Vickers. I would let em eat!

This is why I never plant plots until late September or early October.

Is there anything you can plant for an early season bow plot that army worms won't attack? I don't care if I have to replant after bow season but want to try something. Will they still get into Iron Clay peas? I've got some land that back up next to Thrash and I want to get an early jump on him.

I’m going to have to put you under surveillance son. You could end up like some of Hillary’s enemies;)

Hope you didn’t have young millet!

They whipped us out. Took less than 4 days to dry enough to support a truck to our field. Pulled up to clean up the broadleafs and they had picked it cleaned. Hate the things. 2nd yr in a row they’ve got me. They didn’t eat anything else so it seemed! Broadleafs looked great!

Is there a pre-insecticide?

Doesn’t intrepid have a bit of a residual lasting effect to it?

I’m spraying millet right now with it right now with ravage and intrepid.

Are there natural browse alternatives that army worms won't touch? Last year we planted millet and they cleaned it out.
