Insect Pheromone Trap Counts, August 23, 2013

As is typical for this time of year, bollworm pheromone counts were higher this week, particularly in the Delta. These moths are presumably those that developed in corn ears, and will now be seeking out hosts for another generation, likely in cotton and late soybeans. Tobacco budworm counts were similar to last week across the state and lower than historical averages for this time of year.
