NY Sweet Corn Trap Network Report 5.26.20

This is the first post for the 2020 season. A few new sites were added this year and some sites were removed because the cooperator retired or could not continue. An updated map of the current sites can be viewed at the About page of this blog. I have also divided the table below into Western and Eastern NY to reflect the map on the About page.

Only three sites reported this week (Farmington, Seneca Castle, and Hurley). European corn borer (ECB)-E was caught at both the Hurley and Seneca Castle sites, with ECB damage observed at the Seneca Castle site. Six ECB-Z were caught at the Hurley site.  Both Farmington and Seneca Castle caught 1 Corn earworm (CEW).  This is still too low to require a spray but is very early for CEW. Two counties, Erie and Onondaga, are known to have overwintering populations, but this is the first time for Ontario County to have such early CEW. No Fall armyworm (FAW) were caught at any of the reporting sites.Traps for Western bean cutworm (WBC) will go out next week, so no reports yet.
