Moth Trap Counts, May 16, 2014

As can be seen in the table below, trap counts this week were average in the hills and low in the Delta. This is in contrast to reports of bollworm larvae being abundant. More traps have been deployed this week, so we will have more data to present next week which may provide a more complete picture of bollworm activity across the state. Tobacco budworm catches are near zero at all locations, so any large larval populations are likely bollworms at this time.
