This is an update concerning the automatically generated email that notifies people of new posts to the Virginia Ag Pest Advisory. Although our “Friday morning” email did not work on July 30, 2010, it seems that our “Emergency Notification” option is working. We wish to thank Dr. Yulu Xia for his generous assistance working through this glitch. Remember, all advisories are available anytime at http://www.sripmc.org/Virginia/ (you may have to search the archives at the bottom of the website). Please see Dr. Herbert’s posts about the results of the corn earworm survey and resistance monitoring, and also Dr. Kuhar and my posts concerning insect activity this week. Thank you.
