Bollworm and tobacco budworm pheromone trap catches were both up sharply this week in the MS Delta region and were somewhat higher in the NE Mississippi as well. Corn is no longer attractive to these moths, so expect to see
Bollworm and tobacco budworm pheromone trap catches rose this week in the Delta region, but not in the Northeastern Hills.
Bollworm trap catches fell for the second consecutive week in the MS Delta region, while they started to build this week in the northeastern counties. Tobacco budworm remained at low levels typical for this time of year.
Pheromone trap catches of bollworm moths dropped dramatically from the record high numbers caught last week to average numbers for this time of year. Tobacco budworm catches also dropped in the Delta region, but were steady in the Northeastern Hills.
For the third consecutive week, bollworm trap catches increased in the MS Delta region, with a very high catch of 1224 caught in one trap in Sunflower Country this week (7-day total). In every county this week’s bollworm catch was
Bollworm moth catches were up sharply this week in the Mississippi Delta region to numbers well above average for this time of year. While most moths will lay their eggs in pollinating corn which will cause little to no economic
Catches of bollworm moths in pheromone traps were higher this week than last and were generally higher than average for this time of year. Tobacco budworm catches were also up, but were still a relatively small number. At this time
As in previous years, I will post weekly pheromone moth trap catch results here throughout the growing season. This year we have traps in 4 Delta counties and 3 “Hills” counties. Each county has either 3 or 4 traps for
Bollworm moth catches dropped slightly at all locations this week while tobacco budworm catches remained low. Because many crops are matured past vulnerable stages, those late crops may see concentrations of worms over the next weeks in spite of overall
This week’s bollworm pheromone moth trap catches were similar to last week and about average for this time of year. Tobacco budworm catches dropped a little and were below average.
Bollworm pheromone moth trap catches were up slightly in most traps this week compared to last week. Overall, bollworm and tobacco budworm moth catches were about average for this time of year.
Pheromone trap catches were similar to last week for both bollworm and tobacco budworm, which is near or below average for this time of year.
Bollworm pheromone trap catches were up sharply in the Delta region this week while the bollworm traps in Northeast MS were down slightly.
Bollworm and tobacco budworm moth trap pheromone catches increased this week at most locations. However, trap catches are still below normal for this time of year for both species.
Bollworm moth catches in pheromone traps were similar or lower than last week, and continue to be lower than long-term average catches. However isolated traps sometimes catch large numbers of moths, so while the overall state should not have a
