Insect Trap Counts, June 16, 2011

Pheromone catches of bollworm (corn earworm) came down slightly this week while tobacco budworm and beet armyworm catches are increasing, especially in Central MS. Southwestern corn borer traps indicate that the sewcond generation has begun. Most traps are still fairly low, but 2 fields in Leflore county averaged more than 100 moths/trap for the last week.
