When weed control is delayed in fields, previously unseen insects become nuisance pests for the growing crop. This week, agronomists in central and northeastern Indiana, sent pictures with the “What is this bug?” question. We’ve had similar encounters with the redheaded flea beetle in past years.
Though more of a curiosity, and infrequent, it is refreshing for us to receive calls/emails of mysterious insects “threatening” the crop.
As the season progresses, hemp farmers in Indiana are learning what it is like to grow hemp compared to their other crops.
As the growing season progresses, I am getting more questions about insects feeding on hemp.
