Pheromone Trap Counts, June 5, 2015

This is the first week this year I am reporting trap counts but we have had most traps out for at least 2-3 weeks. Overall trap catches have been average to light. This week, the trap catches for corn earworm (bollworm) and tobacco budworm were very low at all locations.  You will see in the table below that all counties averaged 6 or fewer moths per trap. The highest individual trap catch was only 18 moths over a week (Lowndes County), which is a very low catch rate.
