Blacklight trap catch in Painter this week again yielded very little activty from the major moth pest species. Weekly counts were as follows: 0 European corn borer, 0 armyworm moths, 2 corn earworm, 6 hornworm moths (increasing), 42 green stink bugs (increasing), 3 brown stink bugs (decreasing). We are still not seeing the main flight of corn earworm. Spider mites remain an important pest concern particularly in areas that have missed the rain, or commercial tomatoes. An outbreak of fall armyworm in late-planted corn was also reported this week. Coragen insecticide is a new option for fall armyworm control in early whorl stage corn. It has shown very good efficacy, with a long residual, and it is a safe chemical to apply.
