Fourteen sites reporting this week. No European corn borer (ECB)-E, ECB-Z, corn earworm (CEW), fall armyworm (FAW), or western bean cutworm (WBC) were caught at any of the reporting sites. Traps for the hybrid ECB are located at 5 sites this year: Bellona, Geneva, Penn Yan, Seneca Castle, and Hurley. The only moths caught this week were 4 ECB hybrids at the Hurley site.
ECB moths are attracted to the most advanced corn, especially fields started under plastic or row cover. In these early plantings, larvae don’t feed in the whorl and emerge in the tassel as they do in bare ground corn and the usual scouting and threshold recommendations do not apply. For management recommendations for ECB in early corn please see “Managing ECB in plastic, row cover, or transplanted sweet corn”.
Sweet corn field on 6.1.21 – row cover removed the previous day.
