Sugar Cane Aphids

Texasmark1 · Oct 8, 2014

Invaded N. TX. this summer and ruined my second and possibly 3rd hay cutting. First time for them. Understand they invaded from La. to Ak. last year, and here this year.

A little www searching and Sulfoxaflor is the active ingredient and two brands, Transform and Closer are said to be on the market and EPA approved.

Questions:

1. Who sells it in small quantities, www shipment ok with me?

2. Is it restricted? My state is TX. and they talk about EPA restrictions primarily, not necessarily state restrictions.

I had an applicators license for years but being retired with a small place makes no sense.

I searched this AM and found no help. Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mark

Mark;
Have you called your ag center and ask them about this. Texas A&M and LSU along with some others are suppose to be working on the problem.

Thanks John. Was hoping you'd answer this.

I'll google the school and see. The local ag agent here is of no use to me. Guess I'm too small an operator.
