Fall Armyworms Invade Lawrence County Pastures
Calvin Bryant Extension Director UT-TSU Extension Lawrence County
Fall Armyworms have been reported in the last couple of days in some hayfields and pastures in Lawrence County. Producers should be on the lookout for these pest as they have been found in Bermudagrass and in Fescue Pastures.
UT recommends treatment for armyworms in pastures when 3-4 larvae are found per square foot. Any fields within a week of harvest can be cut rather than treated with insecticide (larvae will not feed on cut hay).
There are many good treatment options. Several pyrethroids insecticides including Baythroid XL, Karate or Warrior II, and Mustang Max provide effective control and have short preharvest application restrictions and no grazing restrictions.
Other products that have short or no preharvest or grazing restrictions include Intrepid, Tracer, Prevathon and Besiege. A complete list of recommended insecticides and suggested rates can be found in the 2014 Pasture Insect Control Recommendations for Tennessee that I have attached.
Pay particular attention to lush warm season grasses like Teffgrass, Crabgrass, Sorgrum/Sudan Grasses, Bermudagrass, etc., but other type of grasses and soybeans close to infected pastures and hayfields may also be at risk.
