Entomology updates

Greetings,  After some discussion, we have elected to forego having reminders of Entomology updates for degree-day accumulations, management recommendations, and pheromone trap data sent automatically via e-mail notification to those on our e-mail recipient list. We chose this option since we felt that three e-mail notifications per week through most of the growing season may be overkill. Consequently, we ask that users of this information simply bookmark the locations of relevance to them and visit them at your convenience. As we have done in previous years, we are updating degree-days, predicted egg-hatch and management recommendations for OFM, CM and TABM twice weekly, on Monday and Thursday. Data for OFM and CM are provided for Winchester, Timberville, Nelson county, Rappahannock county, and Patrick/Carroll counties. Data for TABM are provided for Winchester. Pheromone trap data from the Winchester research station are updated on Wednesdays.
