Updated corn earworm moth catches from our pheromone trap network are in this Table. Prince George County’s black light had 11 total moths over the past 8 nights, but high numbers were caught in that county’s pheromone trap (averaging 42.5 per night over the past 8 nights).

Today in a project supported by USDA-NIFA Crop Protection and Pest Management’s Extension Implementation Program, our entomology crew sampled cotton in Suffolk, VA with no genetic protection against bollworm and found 14% boll injury due to this pest in the insecticide-untreated plot. There was no boll injury due to bollworm in the insecticide-untreated WideStrike or Bollgard 3 plots.
