Only eighteen sites reporting this week. European corn borer (ECB)-E was caught at only one of the reporting sites. Six sites reported ECB-Z. Corn earworm (CEW) was reported from eleven sites all high enough to require a 6, 5, or 4 day spray schedule. While CEW is most attracted to green silk stage fields for egg-laying, as the number of attractive fields decreases, fields with drying silk may become more attractive, prolonging the period when sprays are needed. CEW will also infest peppers and tomatoes when populations are high. Fall armyworm (FAW) continues to increase this week and was caught at fifteen sites. Western bean cutworm (WBC) was caught at only four sites this week.
Average sweet corn trap catches for all reporting sites from 5.25.15 – 9.8.15
