Insect Trap Counts, July 21, 2011

Bollworm trap counts were higher this week throughout the state and tobacco budworm counts were higher in the Delta. Southwestern corn borer counts were relatively low this week, but started to rise this week in many areas, signaling the beginning of the third generation. Four fields in Leflore County had trap captures between 150 and 300 moths per trap.  Also, two fields in Coahoma County had trap captures that ranged from 100 to 158 moths per trap.  One field in Humphreys County had captures of 180 moths per trap.
