It would seem to make sense, and after conversing with the extension people last year about it my first reaction was, “why wouldn’t spraying the grass borders work? they really didn’t think the idea had merit, so my response to that was, “ don’t you think that a few trials are in order to at least see if it’ll work”? “I mean really wouldn’t be nice if our state extension was out ahead on at least one agronomic problem we are having”?

well my attempt at shaming them somewhat was overlooked, and they stated that they really didn’t have any plans to do any trials.

do you think that the midges are gdu driven or do you think a calendar specific spray program is more appropriate? Or more precisely how did you determine when to spray?
do you think you got most of the first ones to emerge?
