NY Sweet Corn Trap Network Report 9.20.16

Eight sites reported this week for Western NY. European corn borer (ECB)-E was not caught at any of the reporting sites this week and ECB-Z was caught at only two sites. Corn earworm (CEW) and fall armyworm were caught at seven sites. The average FAW has increased greatly from last week primarily due to the  counts from the King Ferry site. All seven CEW sites were high enough to require a 4, 5, or 6 day spray schedule (see table at bottom of post). Western bean cutworm (WBC) was caught at only one site. No reports from Eastern NY were in at the time of this posting. The table at the bottom of the post will be updated as they are received.

Average sweet corn trap catches for all reporting sites from 5.31.16 – 9.20.16
