Pheromone trap catches of bollworm and tobacco budworm moths were down this week to more typical levels for this time of year. This is the last week that trap catches will be reported for this year. If you think that
Bollworm moth trap catches rose this week and were very high for this time of year. While most crops are matured past the point where they are susceptible to bollworm feeding, any remaining late crops that are still susceptible could
Bollworm trap catches were down some in the Delta but stable in the Northeastern Hills region while tobacco budworm catches were similar to last week. Bollworm catches were still above long-term averages, so larval pressure should still be expected in
As expected, bollworm pheromone trap catches were up sharply this week in the Delta region to levels well above historical averages. However bollworm catches were similar to last week and to historical averages in the Hills region.
Bollworm moth pheromone trap catches were steady this week while tobacco budworm catches rose slightly. Both species were about average for this time of year. However, based on the high bollworm catches during late July and a lifecycle that takes
Bollworm catches were lower to steady this week compared to last week while tobacco budworm catches dropped to very low numbers. Bollworm catches are still above average for this time of year, so continuing pressure should be expected in vulnerable
After a record high catch reported last week, this week’s catch of both bollworm and tobacco budworm was lower, but still at or above average for this time of year. Therefore growers and consultants should continue to expect substantial bollworm
Bollworm pheromone trap catches were up again this week to record levels. Since 2008 (the first year I have easily available records), there has never been a week with a higher average bollworm moth catch than this week. The second
The MDAC Bureau of Plant Industry recently submitted a Section 18 request to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for the use of Endigo ZC to control rice stink bug in rice. The EPA approved that request late yesterday (July 28,
Rice stink bug populations appear to be very high in a lot of areas of the Delta this year. To make matters worse, we are getting numerous reports of poor control with pyrethroids. There were several cases reported late last
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
We welcome you to attend the Row Crop Update at the 2022 Mississippi Agricultural Industry Council Annual Convention. This event is hosted at Perdido Beach Resort in Orange Beach, Alabama on Wednesday, July 20 starting at 8:00am.
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
