Seventeen sites reporting this week. Six sites reporting European corn borer (ECB)-E and five sites with ECB-Z. Corn earworm (CEW) was caught at four sites with three sites high enough to require a 6 or 5 day spray interval (see spray table at bottom of post). Fall armyworm (FAW) numbers are still increasing with nine sites reporting trap catches. Western bean cutworm (WBC) was caught at 12 sites this week.
Below is a graph showing the average trap catch for all reporting sites since the beginning of the trapping season. Both FAW and WBC are still increasing. ECB-E had a small peak in early June and the second generation flight is predicted to begin when accumulated degree days reach about 1400 modified base 50. ECB-Z had a small peak in mid June and CEW has remained at low levels throughout the season to date.
Average sweet corn trap catches for all reporting sites from 5.25.15 – 7.21.15
