Please click “More” to view the tables with the average number of corn earworm moths and brown marmorated stink bugs (BMSB) captured per night in local black light traps. Mark Kraemer in Petersburg reported approximately 3 to 4 BMSB per foot on some maturity group 4 vegetable-type soybean with pods present (Guelph and Kanrich), but BMSB were not on surrounding maturity group 5 soybean in the flowering stage. Dr. Kraemer also reported seeing BMSB on Asian long beans again this year. Mike Arrington found corn earworm (=bollworm) egg-threshold levels in cotton research plots at the Tidewater AREC (Suffolk) and at an on-farm cotton research trial in Southampton County this week. Thanks to our black light trap operators for their reports this week: David Moore, Kelvin Wells, Laura Maxey, Mary Beahm, Chris Drake, Watson Lawrence, Mark Kraemer, Janet Spencer, Ames Herbert and his entomology crew, Scott Reiter, Keith Balderson, Helene Doughty, and Jim Jenrette.
