Sweet Corn
Earworm catches in pheromone traps have decreased considerably but still indicate high populations for sweet corn. Please note, moth populations in silking sweet corn may be quite a bit higher than the trap data indicated here. We have completed vial testing for the season; the last batch of 20 treated moths resulted in about 45% survivorship. Trap counts from Thursday are as follows:
