NY Sweet Corn Trap Network Report 7.12.22
Twenty-nine sites reported this week. European corn borer (ECB)- E was caught at just one site and ECB-Z was also just caught at one site. No hybrid ECB were caught this week. Sixteen sites reported corn earworm (CEW) catches this week with eight sites high enough to be on a 5, or 6 day spray schedule (see table at bottom of post). Fall armyworm (FAW) was only caught at one site and Western bean cutworm (WBC) was caught at fifteen sites.
WBC usually peaks the last week of July into the first week of August. Numbers are still low but more sites are reporting catches. Below is a table showing the estimated WBC flight completion based on Hanson et al. Flight for WBC is only near ≤5% flight completion based on degree-day accumulation.
