Beneficial Insects: Mantids, Erin W. Hodgson, Ron Patterson
All Current Publications
Mantids refer to an entire predatory group of insects in the order Mantodea. The term “mantis” or “praying mantis” actually refers to a particular genus of mantids. Therefore, only some mantids belong to the genus Mantis. There are about 2,000 species of mantids worldwide and at least 20 species in the U.S. Two mantid species dominate Utah gardens: European mantid and Chinese mantid.

Beneficial Insects: Beetles, Erin W. Hodgson, Ron Patterson
All Current Publications
There are many beneficial beetles in Utah besides lady beetles or ladybugs. Beetles can significantly reduce common insect and weed problems and in some cases eliminate the need for chemical control. Examples of beneficial beetles include: ground beetles, rove beetles, tiger beetles and tortoise beetles. Many of these beetles are native to Utah, while others have been purposely introduced to help control damage from exotic insect and weed pests.

Beneficial Insects: True Bugs, Erin W. Hodgson, Ron Patterson
Beneficial Insects: True Bugs, Erin W. Hodgson, Ron Patterson
All Current Publications
True bugs have piercing-sucking mouthparts and belong to the order Hemiptera and suborder Heteroptera. There are more than 38,000 species of true bugs, and are most closely related to aphids, cicadas, and leaf hoppers. Although some true bugs are considered pests, about one-third are predaceous. True bugs have forewings, or hemelytra, that cross over the back at rest, but sometimes the wings are reduced.

Swine Artificial Insemination For Beginners: Heat Detection, Dennis Worwod
All Current Publications
Heat detection is the most important and time consuming part of an A.I. breeding program. Your goal is to recognize when the sow or gilt reaches “standing heat,” which is the period when she stands still and rigid when you put weight on her loin.

Lygus bug, Lygus lineolaris, is a true plant bug in the family Miridae (Fig. 1). Sometimes this insect is also called tarnished plant bug. Lygus bug is native to North America and is distributed throughout Mexico, United States and Canada. Western tarnished plant bug, L. herperus, is closely related to the lygus bug and has overlapping distributions in the western United States.

Pear Psylla (Cacopsylla Pyricola), Diane Alston, Marion Murray
All Current Publications
Pear psylla (Cacopsylla pyricola), a western Europe native, is a very small sap-feeding insect and is considered the most serious insect pest of pear in the United States. Serious infestations can stunt, defoliate, and even kill trees. Psylla feeding produces copious amounts of sticky honeydew that can cause fruit russetting.

Cereal Leaf Beetle, Erin W. Hodgson, Edward W. Evans
All Current Publications
Cereal leaf beetle, Oulema melanopus, is a leaf beetle in the family Chrysomelidae. These beetles are native to Europe and have been considered pests of small grains since 1737. In 1962, cereal leaf beetle was first detected in the United States in a Michigan grain field. Since the 1960s, this insect has spread throughout much of the United States and Canada; now at least 30 states have confirmed cereal leaf beetle populations.

Corn Silage Performance, 2006; Cache County, Utah, T. C. Griggs, C. E. Israelsen
All Current Publications
This report summarizes on-farm performance of irrigated silage corn hybrids at Benson (Cache County) in 2006. The site is at 4439 ft elevation and has a long-term average of 2800 corn growing degree days (50/86° F) per year. Hybrids were seeded with a six-row planter on May 10 at approximately 35,000 seeds/ac into Kidman fine sandy loam. Plots were six rows wide at 30-in row spacing by 1070 ft long in three randomized complete blocks.

Cranberry Girdler, Erin W. Hodgson, Alan H. Roe
All Current Publications
Cranberry girdler, Chrysoteuchia topiaria, can be found throughout the U.S., but is particularly damaging to turfgrass seed production areas in the Pacific Northwest. This insect was first detected in northern and northeastern Utah during the early 1980’s. Larvae prefer cool-season grasses, such as Kentucky bluegrass, bentgrass and fine-leaf fescues. In addition to causing significant damage to turfgrass, it is recorded as a pest of other grasses, cranberry, Douglas fir, and true firs.

Sod Webworms, Erin W. Hodgson, Alan H. Roe
All Current Publications
The term “sod webworm” refers to an insect complex of more than twenty different grass-infesting species. Adult sod webworms are pyralid moths, but are more commonly referred to as “snout moths” because their mouthparts are projected forward (Fig. 1). Sod webworms are distributed through the U.S., and at least seven different species occur in Utah (Table 1).
Armyworm And Cutworms In Turf, Erin W. Hodgson
Armyworm And Cutworms In Turf, Erin W. Hodgson
All Current Publications
Armyworms and cutworms can be found all over the United States, with at least three species found in Utah. These insects belong to a large group of night-flying moths in the family Noctuidae. Although not new pests to turfgrass, armyworms and cutworms are often ignored, and plant health decline is confused with drought stress, fungal disease, or other insects.
