I want to give you an update on some LCSB activity\u00a0in some dryland peanut fields in the county that have been extra\u00a0dry for en extended period of time and have missed the spotty showers that have passed through other areas of the county. I spoke with Wes Harris yesterday and he has seen some LCSB activity in his travels in the Leefield Community and near Gwinnett’s Crossing. I also saw the presence of some\u00a0in a peanut field trial between Brooklet and Leefield. Notice LCSB in center of picture below I took in peanut trial.<\/p>\n

The LCSB thrives in drought-like conditions, which is what these areas\u00a0experienced thus far in\u00a0July.\u00a0This insect is sporadic in where it shows up\u00a0and where its presence is most felt. The larvae live in the soil, constructing tunnels from soil and excrement tightly woven together with silk.\u00a0 These tunnels often radiate out from the stem of the food source, just below the soil surface. Notice the webbing and tunnel on the peanut vine in picture below,<\/p>\n

If you notice drier individual peanut plants or areas in field that seem more wilted (as in picture below from peanut trial), LCSB’s may be the culprit. Hopefully, rain will arrive to these areas and throughout the county this week to help with this issue.<\/p>\n
