Predicted wheat midge emergence for 2015

The map below is the first of the predicted emergence maps for the wheat midge for the 2015 growing season.  Remember, wheat midge emergence and flight will also be affected by precipitation events and wind.  Even so, if you are hoping to catch the very first wheat midge as they start to emerge, keep watching the map below for areas that will be highlighted below as lime-green (i.e., 600-693 DD). 



Rain fell over the past five days so watch for the updated map in the Weekly Update which should be available by Thursday.
