If equipment that incorporates hydraulic cylinders is stored outside with the cylinder rods extended, the rods are exposed to weathering. Eventually, the rods will begin to show specks of rust that develop into pits. Once rusting and pitting occur, the rod will destroy the cylinder seal the next time it is activated. - Full Content set to .]]></description>

Rice drilled into soybean stubble is particularly susceptible to damage from this insect.  Larval feeding can cause more than 50 percent reduction in stand.  This season colaspis has caused stand reductions in a few rice fields in Acadia, Evangeline and St. Landry parishes.  This short video will train you to scout for colaspis in rice.
