Usually the spider mites will start along the edges or near waterways, fence rows, or power poles. In my observation, they have not reached treatable levels, but spot treatments or field treatment can be made if necessary. If you have questions, just let us know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"> <strong>Silverleaf whiteflies<\/strong> have been observed in areas of the county. Adult whiteflies are present in some fields, and numbers will likely be building in the coming weeks. Growers should be aware of the presence of whiteflies in any cotton field; their presence should influence other insect management decisions in the field. Please see the information below about scouting and managing silverleaf whiteflies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file aligncenter\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/worthag\/files\/2023\/07\/Scouting-SLWF-in-Cotton.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Scouting-SLWF-in-Cotton.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-ffa948ac-2aa3-44c4-a3a0-1dbf8793606d\" href=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/worthag\/files\/2023\/07\/Scouting-SLWF-in-Cotton.pdf\">Scouting-SLWF-in-Cotton<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/worthag\/files\/2023\/07\/Scouting-SLWF-in-Cotton.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-ffa948ac-2aa3-44c4-a3a0-1dbf8793606d\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file aligncenter\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/worthag\/files\/2023\/07\/SLWF-Management-in-Cotton-2020.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of SLWF-Management-in-Cotton-2020.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a468ca86-590e-43d8-87f0-0fa59a3f3d19\" href=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/worthag\/files\/2023\/07\/SLWF-Management-in-Cotton-2020.pdf\">SLWF-Management-in-Cotton-2020<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/worthag\/files\/2023\/07\/SLWF-Management-in-Cotton-2020.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a468ca86-590e-43d8-87f0-0fa59a3f3d19\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file aligncenter\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/worthag\/files\/2023\/07\/SLWF-Sampling-and-Managing.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of SLWF-Sampling-and-Managing.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-5c728569-28bb-4d89-b750-1fa6aedeae1c\" href=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/worthag\/files\/2023\/07\/SLWF-Sampling-and-Managing.pdf\">SLWF-Sampling-and-Managing<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/worthag\/files\/2023\/07\/SLWF-Sampling-and-Managing.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-5c728569-28bb-4d89-b750-1fa6aedeae1c\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-base-two-background-color has-text-color has-background has-x-large-font-size\"><em><strong>If we can be of assistance at Worth County Extension, please let us know.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We are reaching a point in the growing season that some insects and other crop pests are beginning to occur.
