Insect Trap Counts, June 8, 2016

Bollworm trap counts were somewhat lower this week in all counties except Lowndes. Tobacco budworm counts were slightly higher than last week, especially in the northeastern Hills region, but still not very high. Most corn is at or approaching pollination, the most attractive stage of corn for bollworm (corn earworm), so few bollworms should be found in other crops at this time.
