Abstract

Sugarcane aphids have caused economic damage on sorghum and other grain production in Oklahoma. When applied in a timely manner, insecticides provide efficient control; however, it is difficult to protect against the unexpected heavy infestations that have appeared frequently since 2016. This article evaluates the effect of spatial and temporal patterns of weather variables on sugarcane infestation airborne movements. Econometric methods identified persistent northwesterly wind patterns that explain aphid movements. Results serve as a base for sugarcane aphid infestation predictions and to assist stakeholders in developing an early warning system for sorghum producers.
