Pests of wheat.

Pests of wheat	Damage done
Armyworms	Feed initially from the leaf surface; wheat head armyworm is very capable of damaging wheat kernels
Cutworms	Feed on the leaves of the plants and completely cut the plant below the soil surface
Aphids	Curling and sucking the young leaves
Grasshoppers	Serious threat to crop and affects kernels. Damaged kernels appear partially hollowed
Cereal leaf beetles	Cause damage by stripping off green tissue between leaf veins and skeletonizing leaves
Wireworms	They feed on grassroots and attack when wheat crops are to be grown immediately following the sod
Hessian fly	Feed on the lower leaves and can cause heavy damage
