Four of the eleven sites reporting this week caught moths. So far only European corn borer (ECB) were caught. The new site in Seneca Castle again had the highest trap catch. Still no fall armyworm (FAW) or corn earworm (CEW) caught at any of the sites.
Some early corn in Erie County is beginning to tassel. Corn that is tasseling during the first flight of ECB will not show the typical feeding damage that is observed on bare ground corn that is in the whorl stage during the first flight and scouting is less reliable. In this early corn, pheromone trap catches can be used to time sprays. Growers can time sprays to coincide with egg hatch after there is a significant increase in ECB trap catches. For more information please see the Managing ECB in Plastic, Row Cover, or Transplanted Sweet Corn.
