Eighteen sites reporting this week. European corn borer (ECB)-E and ECB-Z were caught at two sites this week. Corn earworm (CEW) was reported from twelve sites with ten sites high enough to require a 6, 5, or 4 day spray schedule. However, sprays are not required for fields that are within a week of harvest. Also if daily maximum temperatures are less than 80° F for the previous 2-3 days then add one day to the recommended spray interval. Thirteen of the eighteen sites reported Fall armyworm (FAW). Though several sites still had high trap counts, the average overall number of FAW are definitely beginning to drop (see graph below). Western bean cutworm (WBC) numbers are very low but six sites still reported trap catches for this week.
Average sweet corn trap catches for all reporting sites from 5.25.15 – 9.15.15
