I have found the presence of some LCSB in several peanut fields in the county within the last week. Please take a moment to check your fields for the presence of the LCSB and\/or foliage feeding caterpillars. It doesn\u2019t take much time to scout peanuts that are less than 50 days old. Notice the LCSB I found in Bulloch County that was inside one of the silk tubes attached to the crown of the peanut plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/bullochag\/files\/2024\/06\/Picture2-1.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"506\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/bullochag\/files\/2024\/06\/Picture2-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2986\" style=\"width:246px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/bullochag\/files\/2024\/06\/Picture2-1.jpeg 506w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/bullochag\/files\/2024\/06\/Picture2-1-237x300.jpeg 237w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 506px) 100vw, 506px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The LCSB thrives in hot and dry conditions which we are currently experiencing.&nbsp;This insect is sporadic in where it shows up&nbsp;and where its presence is most felt. The larvae live in the soil, constructing tunnels from soil and excrement tightly woven together with silk.&nbsp; 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\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/bullochag\/files\/2015\/07\/LCB1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"225\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/bullochag\/files\/2015\/07\/LCB1-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"LCB1\" class=\"wp-image-226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/bullochag\/files\/2015\/07\/LCB1-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/bullochag\/files\/2015\/07\/LCB1-104x138.jpg 104w, https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/bullochag\/files\/2015\/07\/LCB1.jpg 576w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Corn<\/span><\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Southern corn rust\u00a0was confirmed yesterday in a corn field in Wayne County.
