Twenty-three sites reporting this week. Eight sites reporting European corn borer (ECB)-E and eight sites reporting ECB-Z all in the single digits. Corn earworm (CEW) was reported from seventeen sites all high enough to require a 6, 5, 4, or 3 day spray schedule. These sprays will also control other worm pests. Fall armyworm (FAW) was caught at 13 sites and drastically increased from the previous week (see graph below). Western bean cutworm (WBC) continues to decline but was still caught at eleven sites.
If you are experiencing bird damage in your sweet corn and are able to quantify the amount lost due to birds, please contact Darcy Telenko at dep10@cornell.edu. Your information could help us determine different tactics to minimize yield loss due to birds.
