The Aphids Have to Die

We sprayed the Sorghum earlier this week for aphids, they were moving from lower in the crop canopy into the heads and I think would have caused us a lot of trouble at harvest with honey dew, Honey dew is the plant sugars that the aphids release and can be a real problem come harvest. It basically sticks the heads together and can be very painful to harvest and handle if bad enough.
