Stem Maggots

Frank B. Peairs

Two species of stem maggot have been observed to cause white or discolored heads. The stem below the head has been tunneled and the head can be easily pulled from the plant. Western wheat stem maggot and another species closely related to the frit fly have been associated with this problem.
