INFO-BUG
Hessian fly safe sowing dates.
Wheat sown on or after the date indicated for each county will escape most egg deposition by the fall brood of Hessian fly. Egg-laying is completed within the 2- to 3-day female lifespan.
Therefore, it is important to time autumn wheat sowing to escape most egg deposition on the plants.
