Pheromone Trap Counts, August 21, 2015

Bollworm moth trap catches were slightly higher in most counties this week but are generally lower than average counts for this time of year. Tobacco budworm moths continued to be caught at relatively low levels. Continue to monitor susceptible fields for these moths, as we are now in the period when many fields are no longer attractive, so the rare attractive field can attract large populations even though the regional population is not that large.
