Growing Bread Wheat in the Mid-Atlantic Region | The more than 55 million people who live in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States want to purchase processed grain foods such as bread and other dough products made from hard, or bread, wheat. To meet this demand, regional mills import bread wheat, which comes almost exclusively from the Plains states. These imports make up approximately 30 percent of the total grain needed for the region. |

to other spider mites and is the only mite of economic
importance with the anal pore (a tan to orange spot
best seen with microscope, but can be seen with a hand
lens) on the upper surface of the abdomen. |

Integrated Pest Management Peanut Scouting Manual | In the competitive global peanut market, you need to lower production costs. At the same time, you also need to keep pesticide residues in peanuts to a minimum; protect rivers, streams, and lakes from runoff; and prevent chemicals from leaching through the soil to groundwater. Using IPM to protect crops only from pests that are likely to cause economic losses is a good way to meet these goals.

Cereal Leaf Beetle, Biology and Management | Cereal leaf beetle, a native to Europe and Asia, was first detected
in Michigan in 1962. Since that time it has spread throughout
most of the mid-western and eastern United States and
has become a significant pest of Virginia and North Carolina
small grains. This insect can become very numerous in small
grain fields and the larvae are capable of reducing grain yield
by eating the green leaf tissue.

The Peanut Southern Corn Rootworm Advisory | The southern corn rootworm (SCR) has long been considered
a major pest of peanuts in North Carolina and Virginia.
However, researchers and Extension faculty at Virginia
Tech and NC State have determined through more than 400
commercial field trials that the majority of peanut fields
do not need to be treated. They have developed and tested
a simple-to-use advisory that identifies those fields not at
risk for pod damage or economic loss. The Southern Corn
Rootworm Advisory can save you time and money as well as
help you use insecticides more efficiently. |

Corn Earworm Biology and Management in Soybeans | Corn earworm, Helicoverpa zea, is the most common and destructive insect pest of soybeans grown in Virginia. Although infestation severity varies, about one-third of our acreage is treated annually. This costs farmers 1.5 to 2 million dollars annually, and requires the application of many pounds of insecticide to crop lands. We may never eliminate this pest from Virginia soybeans, but knowledge of the biology and use of best management practices can help limit insecticide controls to those fields that meet economic threshold criteria. This publication provides current information on corn earworm biology, prediction of outbreaks, pest advisories, scouting procedures, and recently revised economic thresholds. |

Soybean Insect Guide | Numerous kinds of insects can be found in soybeans. Most are beneficial
or harmless, but some can cause yield loss and even crop failure if not
controlled. |
