Sp341-W-Insects In Grain Bins, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service
Field & Commercial Crops
One of the most common insects in stored grain is the Indian-meal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Hubner). These moths are called “flour moths” in Tennessee because they feed on flour or milled products. In farm grain bins, they prefer broken grains or grains damaged by other pests and seldom attack sound grain kernels. They cause problems by spinning webbings as immature. This causes lower quality in stored grain.
Sp721 Sunflower: An Alternative Crop For Tennessee Producers - Production Guidelines And Tennessee Hybrid Trials, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service
Sp721 Sunflower: An Alternative Crop For Tennessee Producers - Production Guidelines And Tennessee Hybrid Trials, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service
Field & Commercial Crops
Tennessee producers are interested in crops that can be grown to diversify and/or complement their current cropping systems that include corn, cotton, soybeans and wheat. There is a growing demand for birdseed, and sunflower is an important component of that feed, either as a sole ingredient or in a blend with other seeds such as millet, corn, sesame, sorghum, wheat and oats. Sunflower oil is used for human consumption and is also a suitable feedstock for biodiesel. An increasing demand for biodiesel will increase the demand for oilseed crops such as sunflower. Thus, there may be increased opportunities for some …

Sp290-K The Hessian Fly In Wheat, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service
Field & Commercial Crops
The Hessian fly is a pest of winter wheat in Tennessee and other wheat-growing states. This pest caused disastrous losses in Tennessee wheat in the mid- 1980s. Later planting of wheat and the use of wheat varieties resistant to Hessian fly minimized economic losses from this pest. In the coming years, potential economic losses from Hessian fly could increase due to the lack of resistance varieties.
In 2009, very little attention was given to Hessian fly infestations. However, there are some varieties with moderate resistance to biotype L Hessian fly. None are completely resistant. Some of the better methods to …
