This is the first report of the 2016 season. Eight sites reported this week with European corn borer (ECB)-E trapped at three sites, Penn Yan, Eden and Seneca Castle and one site, Seneca Castle trapping ECB-Z. Corn earworm (CEW) and fall armyworm (FAW) were both trapped at Eden as well. Degree day accumulations, based on the nearest NEWA weather station, are given for each trapping site. Most sites are close to the accumulated degree days for first ECB spring flight according to the development model from the University of Wisconsin.
