Windthorst Ind
Joins Junior
Holstein Assoc
Eddie Moer of Windthorst
has joined the junior member-
ship ranks of Holstein-Fries
ian Association of America
Nearly 13.900 youngsters are
now actively enrolled in the
brede organization's program
To qualify, member candi-
dates must be under 21 years
of age and have successfully-
completed one year's work in
a 4-H or vocational agriculture
dairy project. Individual own-
ership of at least one Regis-
tered Holstein is also required
Junior members of the na
tional Association are entitled
to all privileges except voting.
They may register and trans-
fer their animals at member
rates and receive regular re-
ports of breed and organiza-
tion progress.
More than 44.200 young Ho!
stein breeders have partici-
pated in the program since
its start in 1923
the winter in the active nym-
phal and adult stages. If the
temperature goes as low as
0 degrees or as high as 105
degrees F., some will be kill-
ed. Population reduction will
also occur at temperatures
of 25 F and below for extend-
ed periods of time. From 55
degrees to 80 degrees F. is
the optimum temperature
rage for greenbug reproduc-
tion. Lady beetles, nabids
and lacewings prey on green-
bugs, which are also parasi-
tized by a tiny wasp. When
temperatures are below 65
degrees F., most greenbug
enemies reproduce slowly or
hardly at all. Long periods of
cool weather thus permit the
greenbug to increase in enor-
ous numbers while its natural
enemies increase very slowly.
There may be as many as
20 generations of greenbugs
a year. Under favorable con-
ditions a single female may
produce as many as eight
young per day. Female green-
bugs give birth to living
young. Male greenbugs are
not known in Texas.
Several factors should be
considered before using in-
secticides to control green-
bugs. These include number
of greenbugs present, size of
plants, moisture conditions
temperature, and predator and
parasite situation.
Larger plants can survive
attack by a greater number
of greenb u g s. Insecticidal
treatment may be justified if
there are 50 greenbugs per
foot of row on small plants
early in the season. At least
100 greenbugs per foot of
row should be present before
insecticide is applied to lar-
ger plants. On dryland wheat
it is usually not advisable to
spray if the soil moisture is
insufficient to produce more
than 10 bushels per acre.
Spraying should also be delay-
ed when predators and para-
sites combined equal 1/10 to
1 25 the number of green-
bugs.
Temperature influences not
only the reproductive capa-
city of the greenbug but also
the insecticide to be used.
Parathion and methyl para-
thion are most effective a!
temperatures above 50 de
grees F. Mathion is effective
at temperatures above 70 de-
grees F.
Additional information on
the control of greenbugs can
be obtained at your County
Extension Agent’s office.
