Bollworm pheromone trap catches were the same or higher than last week in every county and were mostly quite a bit higher than average counts for this time of year. Tobacco budworm counts were sharply higher in Leflore county, but
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 moth pheromone trap catches were similar to last week and about average for this time of the year. Tobacco budworm trap catches remained low.
Bollworm moth trap catches were somewhat lower this week compared to last week and are at levels about average for this time of year. Tobacco budworm catches remained very low.
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 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
Bollworm moth pheromone trap catches varied depending on the region of the state. While trap catches in all counties in the Northeastern part of the state were down to single digits this week, catches in the Delta region were up
Bollworm moth pheromone trap counts dropped some from last week to levels about average for this time of year. While overall insect pressure is not extremely high at this time, the number of fields that are attractive to bollworms are
Overall bollworm trap counts dropped slightly this week from last week, but this varied greatly by county with Lowndes county nearly tripling its counts while Sunflower county had less than 25% as many this week compared to last week. Compared
Bollworm moth pheromone trap counts were relatively stable from last week to this week, with catches rising in some counties and falling in others. Tobacco budworm catches remained low, with no moths caught in the Northeast MS counties this week
Bollworm moth pheromone trap counts rose modestly in most counties this week in both the Northeast and Delta regions. The moth catches in all counties were higher than the 10-year average, especially in the Delta region, so bollworm pressure in
Bollworm trap counts were steady or lower in every county this week, which indicates that we are past the peak emergence from the generation that developed in corn. However, there were still plenty of moths caught, so significant egg pressure
Bollworm pheromone trap counts were largely higher this week than last, with catches high enough to generate substantial bollworm pressure in susceptible fields. Tobacco budworm pressure was moderate in the Delta, but light in Northeast MS.
