\"TBW.CEW\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have included the current Brooks County moth numbers for Tobacco Budworm (TBW) and Corn Earworm (CEW). \u00a0Also, for your information I am attaching a pest update from Dr. Phillip Roberts. \u00a0Please call if you have any questions.<\/p>\n

During the past week we have received a few reports of both corn earworm and fall armyworm infestations in cotton.\u00a0 To date these reports have been somewhat isolated and sporadic but treatable infestations have been reported so thorough scouting is a must.\u00a0 When corn earworm escapes are found in Bt cottons they are typically found in blooms, bloom tagged bolls, or in bolls a few nodes below the uppermost white bloom.\u00a0 Be sure to look under stuck bloom tags for larvae and damage.<\/p>\n

Fall armyworms are typically observed in bolls in the lower canopy and sometimes blooms.\u00a0 When scouting be observant for etching on the inner surface of boll bracts down in the canopy.\u00a0 Small fall armyworm may initially feed on the inner surface of boll bracts prior to feeding through the base of a boll.\u00a0 This etching creates a subtle window pane effect.\u00a0 The threshold for fall armyworm is 2 times that of corn earworm.<\/p>\n

Stink bug damage is variable from farm to farm.\u00a0 Scout and treat on an as needed basis.\u00a0 Be observant for the presence of other pest such as corn earworm and\/or spider mites; as their presence should influence insecticide selection when targeting stink bugs.\u00a0 For example, if corn earworm eggs and\/or small larvae are observed, consider using a pyrethroid in your stink bug treatment; perhaps a low rate of an OP plus a pyrethroid if brown stink bugs are the primary target.<\/p>\n

Mites are in most fields I have observed.\u00a0 Fortunately populations have not \u201cblown up\u201d\u2026maybe that is due to some of our management decisions!\u00a0 Avoid treatments known to flare mites when they are present.<\/p>\n

Soybeans remain relatively quiet, but several species of foliage feeders are present and we need to continue scouting and react when appropriate.\u00a0 Kudzu bug numbers remain low and we believe migration has ceased in many areas.\u00a0 So what you got with kudzu bugs is probably what you will have for the rest of the year or at least to early maturity group soybeans began senescing.\u00a0 As pods continue to develop, be sure to keep a close watch for stink bugs.<\/p>\n
