WNY Sweet Corn Trap Network Report 7.12.11

Both ECB E and Z race moths are generally low this week, with the exception of Hamlin, where the E race counts increased.  Fields with emerging tassels are still infested with ECB from the earlier flight, but in many cases, if larvae in the emerging tassels are controlled with tassel emergence applications, fields in areas with low trap catches may not need additional applications before harvest.  In Hamlin, where higher numbers of adults are being caught, new ECB egg masses are being found.  Most locations did not report corn earworm catches, and those that did reported 1-3 moths for the week.  Fall armyworm and western bean cutworm were each caught at only one location this week.
