Mississippi Kudzu Bug Update: 8/14/2013

Seems like we are adding new counties every week. We are now at 24 counties total with 16 of those having kudzu bugs found in soybeans.  At this time we have actually treated a field or two for kudzu bugs in the southwest part of the state but this has not been common. Most of the finds in soybeans have been very low numbers so far but in the next year or two we will definitely be treating many more acres of soybeans. The map below is current as of 8/14/2013 and also has added a “star” to represent counties where kudzu bugs are present in soybeans.
