Sweet Corn European corn borer (ECB) moth catches in black light traps remain very low. There will be no map in this edition due to insufficient catch. Incidents of feeding are declining as infested plantings proceed to silk and whorl stage corn has not been exposed to egg laying. We should be in a period relatively free of […]

Peach: Oriental Fruit Moth (OFM): Second generation adults are flying in southern and northern counties. Degree day spray timing predictions are updated since last week and are shown below. The second brood often causes the most damage on peaches, since larvae can enter both growing tips and young fruit. Particular attention should be paid to […]

The first late blight fungicide application is recommended once 18 DSVs accumulate from green row. Green row typically occurs around the first week in May […]

Sweet Corn European corn borer (ECB) moth catches in black light traps are very low. The highest activity now in north central areas (see ECB map). Feeding continues to increase, although infestations are spotty.
Continue reading...Based on our degree-day (DD) model for Sparganothis fruitworm, peak flight is expected at around 884 DD and first eggs hatched expected at 895 DD (see chart). As of June 21, Sparganothis has accumulated 951 DD (using April 15 as biofix). This indicates that we have passed peak flight and eggs have just started to […]
