Historically, if you looked at the information on when wheat midge could emerge, a wheat producer could be out scouting for four to six weeks. (topcropmanager.com)
Wheat midge scouting and control is based on when the crop is heading (wheat head becomes visible as the boot splits until the initial stages of flowering) and the adult midge density is at economic densities of one adult midge for every eight to 10 wheat heads during the susceptible stage if aiming for high quality grades.
