Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation South Carolina aphid densities peaked in late July and then fell by August.
- Observation Louisiana aphid infestations peaked on different July dates in 2017 and 2018, then declined.
- Association High nitrogen rates produced the highest aphid infestations in Louisiana in 2018.
- Observation Aphid densities on DKS 38-88 were 1.5 to 2.3 fold greater than DKS 37-07.
- Association Nitrogen fertilization improved sorghum yield in Louisiana.
- Intervention effect One threshold-based insecticide spray differed in yield from unprotected plots only in Louisiana in 2018.
- Recommendation The authors concluded that insecticide protection of susceptible sorghum remains critical.
