NY Sweet Corn Trap Network Report 9.18.18

Sixteen of 38 sites reported this week. European corn borer (ECB)-E was caught at 1 sites and ECB-Z was caught at 2 sites. Corn earworm was caught at 12 sites with all high enough to be on a 3, 4, 5, or 6 day spray schedule (see table below). Fall armyworm (FAW) was caught at 10 sites and Western bean cutworm (WBC) was caught at 3 sites.

The graph below shows the average trap catch for each moth species. CEW and FAW both continue to decline. Next week will be the last blog post as most corn at the trap locations is either harvested or has drying silk.

Average sweet corn trap catches for all reporting sites from 5.29.18 – 9.18.18.
