This week’s bollworm moth pheromone trap catches were largely lower than last week, while tobacco budworm trap catches were mostly higher in the Delta region compared to last week at levels higher that observed in recent years in Leflore county.
Bollworm trap catches this week were similar to last week and about average for this time of year. Tobacco budworm trap catches were high in Leflore and Washington counties this week, so in these areas Heliothine egg densities are likely

Bollworm trap catches in the Delta region dropped some this week from last week’s very high numbers, but catches were still equal to or higher than long term averages. Bollworm catches in Northeastern MS were about average. Tobacco budworm catches
Bollworm pheromone trap catches of moths were higher this week, especially in the Delta region. Washington County traps were filled with bollworm moths, with each trap (3 total) catching more than 400 moths during the week.

Bollworm trap catches were similar to last week, which is high compared to the historical average for the end of May. Tobacco budworm were barely caught at all.
Here is the first Heliothine trap catch report for 2025. We will strive to report our pheromone trap catches here weekly throughout the growing season. Each county reported is the average weekly catch per trap from 3-4 traps. The traps
Bollworm trap catches were up sharply in many counties this week compared to last week. This was the first week since mid-July that any county averaged more than bollworm 100 moths/trap. Tobacco budworm trap catches were also up somewhat this
Bollworm pheromone trap catches this week were comparable to last week, last year, and to the 10-year average. Many fields are now matured past their susceptible stages, so those late planted fields may see higher bollworm pressure than expected due
Bollworm moth counts in pheromone traps in most counties dropped a little this week and were lower than typical for this time of year.
Bollworm moth trap catches were similar to the previous week and to long-term average catches in both the Delta and NE Mississippi regions. Tobacco budworm catches continue to be low.
Bollworm moth captures fell last week in the Delta region but increased in Northeast MS so that pressure was similar in all counties across the state. Tobacco budworm counts remained at a low level.
Bollworm moth trap counts were similar this week with last week and are typical for this time of year.
Bollworm moth catches in pheromone traps fell in most counties this week compared to last week.
Bollworm pheromone trap counts rose slightly this week compared to the previous week. Tobacco budworm counts were higher in the Delta region, but absent in Northeast MS. Overall, heliothine insect pressure appears to be about average for this time of
Bollworm counts were stable to higher this week compared to last week, but much lower than last year at this time. The generation that developed on silking corn should be emerging, so expect bollworm moth counts to rise over the
Bollworm trap catches were stable to slightly lower this week compared to last week. The pressure from bollworms is much lower than last year’s record-breaking pressure. Tobacco budworms were barely present this week in all traps.
Bollworm trap counts were similar to last week overall, which is much lower than last year at this time. Tobacco budworm counts were fairly low this week.
Bollworm pheromone trap counts were down sharply this week compared to last week in every county, so it appears we are in a lull between generations. Tobacco budworm we higher in the Delta, particularly in Leflore county. Actually only 1
Below are the trap catches in pheromone traps for corn earworm (bollworm) and tobacco budworm. The numbers reported are the average trap catch in the county for the week. There are 3-4 traps for each species placed in each reported
