More on Teen Leadership Camp 2016 More than 125 teens from across the state came together for a week of fun activities and leadership development, explains Laura Alexander, State 4-H Office intern and Co-Advisor for SD 4-H Youth Council. “The week was filled with workshops, fun activities, and keynote speakers as teens looked to unleash their power, passion, and potential for the week,” Alexander said. The conference featured several keynote speakers including; former Tripp County 4-Her and former National FFA Officer, Wyatt DeJong and national leadership speaker, Shannon Oleen. iGrow n YOUR VOICE WILL BE HEARD MV Shopper MV Shopper M I S S O U R I VA L L E Y In Print and Online! • 665-5884 BROOKINGS, S.D. - Flea beetles might be the best way to control leafy spurge, a state-level noxious weed which can be found in nearly every corner of the state. “By far, the most successful biocontrol agents for leafy spurge in South Dakota have been the leafy spurge flea beetles,” said Pete Bauman, SDSU Extension Range Field Specialist. “Landowners are obligated to control noxious weeds, and the best strategy for weed control is an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach.” Flea beetles control leafy spurge through foraging on the roots as larva and through foraging on the host plant as adults. Flea beetles are generally collected by hand via simple sweep nets in late spring and early summer prior to the female beetles laying eggs in order to have females lay eggs at the new release site to build a new population. Over the last 20 years, many state, federal and private organizations have worked closely with landowners to collect and distribute flea beetles for leafy spurge control and to establish a series of ‘insectories’ on private and public lands for future collection and redistribution. “The benefits of utilizing biological control in an IPM system for leafy spurge are clear,” Bauman said. “Successful biological control can dramatically reduce populations and input costs in labor and chemicals while retaining pasture plant community diversity by reducing or eliminating non-target chemical impacts to desirable native broadleaf plants such as native flowers and legumes.” Biological control, Bauman explains is simply utilizing a natural enemy of the host species to attack and control the host. In this case, the enemy is the flea beetle and the host is the spurge plant. Bauman added that labor and monetary savings can then be invested into overall pasture management, including managing the biocontrol program by annually moving biocontrol agents into the pasture. Establishing a Successful Leafy Spurge Biological Control Program Biocontrol is a proven method of managing spurge populations. However, not all biocontrol programs meet with immediate success, and in certain cases biocontrol with flea beetles simply will not work. “Biocontrol requires that the spurge beetles have a population of spurge to feed on, thus the beetles will never completely eliminate spurge in the pasture,” Bauman said. “Rather, biocontrol is aimed at reducing the leafy spurge population to an acceptable level. It can take as little as one year or as many as six years for a released population to firmly establish and significantly impact the spurge, with three to five years being common.” How can Landowners Participate in Leafy Spurge Biological Control? Today, the South Dakota Department of Ag in partnership with County Weed Supervisors coordinate the majority of public collection and redistribution of leafy spurge flea beetles. Landowners can call the SD Dept. of Ag at 605.773.3796 or their local county Weed Supervisor to be placed on a contact list. niGrow REAL ESTATE RENTALS AUTOMOTIVE EMPLOYMENT MERCHANDISE COUPONS the Missouri Valley Shopper and missourivalleyshopper.com is your complete source for buying and selling.
