None were caught in the south Delta. Unfortunately, traps in the north Delta could not be checked this week due to a truck accident. Tobacco . . . → Read More: Insect Trap Counts, June 27, 2012

Bollworm trap counts remain low again in all monitored regions. Tobacco budworm and beet armyworm counts are also fairly low, so it appears that worm pests are not a major problem in MS cotton production at this time. Our best explanation of the low densities this year are better survival of predators and parasitoids during our . . . → Read More: Insect Trap Counts, June 20, 2012 Bollworm pheromone trap counts inched higher for a second consecutive week, but are still lower than normal. With much corn past green silk stage, bollworms in the region will be laying their eggs in cotton, soybeans or late corn. Tobacco budworm catches are higher than bollworm catches in the hills, so growers of non-Bt crops in these regions . . . → Read More: Insect Trap Counts, June 13, 2012 Pheromone trap counts for bollworm and tobacco budworm for the week are much lower than last week or than last year at this time, particularly in the Delta.

Tobacco budworm counts were steady in the Northeastern and Central regions, but dropped in the Delta after a large spike last week. I have not been reporting fall armyworm counts this year, but 2 traps in Oktibbeha County have been monitored all year with very few moths (<10 per wk) . . . → Read More: Insect Trap Counts, Sept. 1, 2011 The bollworm flight continues at a moderate to high level throughout the state. Tobacco budworm catches are sharply higher this week in the Delta, but not in the other regions. A similar spike in budworm catches occurred in late August during 2010. The sources of these moths are unknown, but there is obviously one or more hosts . . . → Read More: Insect Trap Counts, August 24, 2011 Bollworm trap counts continue to be moderate to high in traps across the state.
