Whether you are scouting for stink bugs in maturing grain sorghum on the Texas coast, assessing early season insects further north, or debating purchase of insecticide-treated seed in the Texas High Plains, then Texas AgriLife offers a valuable insect control source. “Managing Insect and Mite Pests of Texas Sorghum,” B-1220 (2007) has 30 color pictures and the guide systematically describes identification, insect activity, field thresholds, and suggested control measures including insecticides for 29 species of insect pests in Texas sorghum. You may view, print, or download the document for free from http://agrilifebookstore.org (type “sorghum” in the search box), or you can purchase your own color print copy.
