Insecticide for Cereals
Planting spring or winter wheat? Control damaging pests—and boost your crop’s natural defenses—with an effective insecticide plan for cereals.
UAS offers a variety of low-cost, high-impact seed treatments tailored to specific cereal pests, including:
WIREWORM
Wireworms infect the plant below the surface, feeding on germinating seeds and young seedlings of cereal crops. They can cause wilting, stunted growth and death to young crops. If not controlled, heavy infestations can even lead to total destruction of individual wheat fields.
SIGNS OF WIREWORM:
Brown spot on the root/base of stem
Hollowed out seeds/dead seedlings
Wilted/discolored plants
Thin stands
HESSIAN FLY
Infests both winter and spring wheat. In their maggot/larvae stage, they feed on the lower stem tissue, damaging seedlings in the fall and overwintered plants in the spring. While multiple generations can cause damage throughout the growing season, even just a moderate infestation can result in significant yield loss.
SIGNS OF HESSIAN FLY:
Stunted or dead tillers
Thin stands
APHIDS
Cereal aphids suck the sap from plants, attacking the plant tissues as they feed. Aphids may also cause damage by injecting toxic salivary secretions while feeding. Whether winged or wingless, aphids can cause severe damage to your yields.
SIGNS OF CEREAL APHIDS:
Leaf stippling
Discoloration or striping
Wilting
Premature browning
