Southwestern corn borer trap counts increased again this week in several counties. Traps in Leflore, Carroll, and Tate counties exceeded the current threshold of 100 per trap. As a reminder, corn is considered safe from yield losses from southwestern corn

Overall, southwestern corn borer trap numbers are beginning to decline. Only one location in Leflore county exceeded the threshold of 100 per trap this week.
There are several biological insecticide options labelled in soybean; however, the most readily available and widely used product is Heligen. In the last week, many people have asked about the use of Heligen with the low bollworm numbers showing up

The corn agronomy guys are also recording Mississippi Crop Situation Podcasts. We are using this format to share our latest recommendations and issues we are finding in the Corn Verification Program and grower fields throughout the state.
This last week there have been reports of bollworm eggs starting to show up in Mississippi Cotton. Generally speaking, in a normal year the bollworm flight would begin around July 4th, and peak around the 15th. The wet spring pushed

The presence of foliar diseases in the MS corn production system has certainly increased over the past several weeks. In general, the presence of disease increases as the corn crop ages. Questions regarding common and southern rust, Curvularia leaf spot, Diplodia leaf streak, and Physoderma brown spot have been posed over the past several weeks. Information regarding the aforementioned diseases is contained in the current blog post.
Trap count continue to increase in many regions of the state, but few are at threshold. As a note, the 2 traps that captured high numbers of moths in Tate county last week were knocked down this week and are
Trap counts for southwestern corn borer are highly variable this week. We did have two locations in Tate and Leflore Counties that exceeded the threshold this week. As a reminder, thresholds for southwestern corn borer suggest spraying non-Bt corn 7
