    Army worms

    Just a heads up, army worms have hit our pastures again after this rain. Only about 1/2” long right now.

    We’ve been hit bad the past 3-4 years. Waiting until the end of September to plant our food plots.

        I've tried them in my tank with no luck. Mostly red ear, green sunfish, pollywog catfish, and channel catfish. Not saying they won't work, may have just been off days. Won't hurt to drown them either way!

          I have already sprayed once back in the first of August. I used Lambda. I have been eyeballing the pastures everday since this rain started! I don't want to get pechanga'd like I did last year. It was bad.

            I’ve sprayed twice this year and plan on getting them a 3rd. Sept-October is usually prime time

              One day nothing, the next 10000000000 of these bastages everywhere!

              Glad I didn't plant just yet. As far as the yard I'm spraying now.

              DO NOT PLANT IN EAST TX YET UF YOU HAVNT ALREADY!

                      Just had a small horse pasture wiped out by army worms. My yard guy said he would not recommend treating where horses graze. Not sure if they will just move on or not?

                        lambda can be grazed immediately.

                            Same here. Once you get GPS and a Monitor you can control form the cab it will spoil you!

                            I even rigged up my fence row trailer sprayer with solenoid valves so i could switch sides on the fly. Sometimes you wonder why on earth we did it the hard way before.

                            We have been pretty lucky this year. We have had to spray twice but not all fields. Last time i sprayed i was putting out liquid fertilizer and so i just went ahead and mixed in tombstone so i would have some residual.

                              Same here. I sprayed 80 acres of coastal, yesterday.
