The United States produces more sorghum of any other nation, and most of U.S. production is in the Great Plains states of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, and Nebraska. Sorghum headworm is an economically important insect pest of sorghum throughout United States often ranked 1st or 2nd in importance among the myriad of insects that feed on sorghum. In the Great Plains states of Texas and Oklahoma, headworm is ranked as the most important insect pest and is a very serious concern to sorghum producers. The development and application of a sequential sampling technique for sorghum headworm in grain sorghum is described.
