Our black light and CEW pheromone traps are now up and running for the season. The traps are generally checked on Monday and Thursday and counts are posted by early Tuesday and Friday morning. This season we will be trapping for corn earworm, European corn borer and 3 stink bug species. Please use the following link to access all trap information: http://extension.udel.edu/ag/insect-management/insect-trapping-program/. In addition to historical corn earworm and corn borer data; you will also see that we have added a new feature — historical information for stink bug trap counts in both a tabular and graph format. I will also begin the Crop Pest Hotline starting the week of May 12 (instate: 800-345-7544; out of state: 302-831-8851).
