Sweet Corn

IPM Program personnel are finished deploying black light traps and nearing completion of the corn earworm (CEW) pheromone trap network in New Jersey.    Limited collections from traps thus far have captured one corn earworm (CEW) from Chester in Morris County.  We anticipate only limited CEW and  European corn borer (ECB) moths for the near term, and as numbers increase, look for population maps of ECB, CEW, brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB).  The resulting full-state maps will include interpretive information.

IPM Program personnel are currently deploying black light and corn earworm (CEW) pheromone trap networks in New Jersey.    Limited collections from traps thus far have not contained any target pests.  We do not anticipate corn earworm (CEW) or  European corn borer (ECB) moths for some time yet, but as numbers increase, look for population maps of ECB, CEW, brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB).  The resulting full-state maps will include interpretive information.

European corn borer (ECB) moths are still appearing in several locations, but numbers remain very low, and feeding has only occasionally been reported.   ECB population maps will resume if second flight catches rise to high enough numbers.

The highest nightly blacklight trap catches of ECB for the week ending 09/01/21 are as follows:
