What's New

Wireworms as Pests for Sugarcane

Wireworms are larvae of click beetles (Coleoptera: Elateridae), which are sporadic pests of sugarcane in Louisiana and Florida. It is thought the primary pest species is Melanotus communis, but additional species may also be present. The larvae live in the soil for one to two years, feeding on whatever plant matter is available.

Vegetable Gardening Tips: Watermelon

Watermelons can easily be grown from seed. Purchase fresh seed from a local nursery or order from online garden suppliers or garden magazines. Fresh seed is always best. Discounted seed is usually old and may have poor germination rates.

What is an Air Temperature Inversion?

Many in the agriculture industry have heard the term air temperature inversion, but what is this weather phenomenon that can be so dangerous for pesticide applicators? To ensure compliance with state and federal laws concerning pesticide applications, applicators must fully understand what a temperature inversion is, how it occurs and the effects it can have on spray drift.

Spring 2018

The winter 2018 issue focuses on the economic success of the Louisiana Seafood Direct extension program; research on alternatives to insecticides for pest management; four intellectual property discoveries that are having success in the market; the increasing use of drones as a valuable tool in farm management; a feature on Louisiana’s first woman Outstanding Master Farmer; and more!

Fall 2017
