Bollworm moth trap counts rose slightly this week in most locations, with trap counts being comparable to long-term averages. Tobacco budworm trap counts remained low as they have been all year. As most agronomic crops are nearly past the stage
Bollworm pheromone trap catches were similar to lower than last week and tobacco budworm catches were few. For most crops, the threat of an economic bollworm infestation is likely past unless the field was planted very late.
Bollworm trap catches were stable to slightly higher across Mississippi this week compared to the previous week. Delta bollworm trap catches were lower this week than during the same week in 2017. Tobacco budworm trap catches remained low as they
Bollworm moth trap catches were down sharply this week, so hopefully that will translate to a break in bollworm larval pressure soon. Tobacco budworm trap catches remain at very low levels.
Bollworm pheromone trap catches were somewhat higher in Mississippi this week, especially in Coahoma county. Therefore expect bollworm egg and larval pressure to continue at similar levels for another week in susceptible crops. Tobacco budworm trap catches remain at very
Bollworm pheromone trap catches were down a little this week in most counties. There are still plenty of moths available to lay enough eggs to cause economic damage in susceptible crops, so remain alert for bollworm infestations. Tobacco budworm pressure
Bollworm pheromone moth trap catches in our trap line surprisingly declined in the Delta region this week again, but increased slightly in Northeastern MS. However, one trap in Quitman county not normally reported here had 645 bollworm moths in it
Bollworm pheromone moth traps were relatively low for the second consecutive week. Tobacco budworm catches remained low as they have been all year. I expect bollworm catches to begin to rise next week as we will be about one month
Bollworm moth trap catches were lower this week in Mississippi. Tobacco budworm catches remained at very low levels.
Bollworm pheromone trap catches for the week remained relatively high in the Delta region, especially in Washington county. Tobacco budworm counts remain low in all counties. As corn matures past silk stage, fewer bollworm eggs will be laid in corn,
Bollworm trap catches are up sharply this week for the second consecutive week, especially in the Mississippi Delta region. Most of these moths will likely oviposit in silking corn where they cause minimal damage, but early cotton and soybeans should
Bollworm trap catches rose sharply this week, especially in the Delta, signalling the beginning of another generation. Moth emergence is aligning with corn silking this year which is bad news. While economic damage to corn is minimal, larvae develop very
Pheromone trap catches for the week ending June 1 were similar to the previous week, which is similar to or slightly lower than historical averages. Tobacco budworm counts continue to be low, so most heliothine larvae observed should be bollworms
We will be posting pheromone trap catch data again this year from several counties in Mississippi to give you an idea when pressure is greatest and whether your population is likely mostly bollworm (corn earworm) or tobacco budworm. We have
Bollworm counts held steady this week overall at a level about normal for this time of year. Some counties increased compared to last week while other counties decreased. Tobacco budworm counts were very low again this week, with no counties
Trap catches were up sharply in the Delta region this week. We are now four weeks since the last large bollworm moth flight, so this increase in moth numbers is no surprise. Tobacco budworm catches remained extremely low in the
Bollworm moth trap counts were lower in every monitored county across the state this week compared to last week and lower than historic averages for this time of year. Tobacco budworm moth catches were also low, so new bollworm and
Bollworm trap counts rose in most counties this week, particularly in the Northeastern Hills region of the state. Numbers are typical for this time of the year and susceptible crops may need to be sprayed. Tobacco budworm counts were low
Bollworm moth trap catches fell dramatically in the Delta region this week, signalling the end of moth emergence from the generation that developed on corn. There were still enough moths caught that susceptible crops can have an infestation, but pressure
Bollworm moth counts in the Delta rose dramatically during the last week, consistent with scouting reports, so growers should expect high egg and larval counts in susceptible crops. Every county averaged more than 100 moths per trap for the week
Pheromone trap catches this week were similar to last week and about average for this time of year. Tobacco budworm catches were much higher in Northeast MS than in the Delta region, so growers around Noxubee and Lowndes counties should
Overall, southwestern corn borer trap numbers are increasing across the state. The thresholds in the control guide suggest treating 7 days after traps reach 50 moths for pre-tassel corn and 100 moths for tasseling corn. As a reminder, corn is safe
