situation at this time than we were last\u00a0year across the state.\u00a0 It will be important that all fields are monitored closely for SLWF and hopefully proper proactive management can minimize damage and the need for insecticides.<\/p>\n<p>Management Considerations:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Scout for the presence of SLWF adults.\u00a0 It is important to know if SLWF is present!<\/li>\n<li>Conserve beneficial insects, do not apply insecticides for any pests unless thresholds are exceeded.\n<ul>\n<li>Beneficial insects will also suppress corn earworm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>If SLWF is present in a field, avoid use of insecticides for other pests which are prone to flare SLWF.<\/li>\n<li>Scout fields frequently for immatures once fields are infested with SLWF.<\/li>\n<li>Be timely with SLWF insecticides when thresholds are exceeded.<\/li>\n<li>Be aware of SLWF infestations in hairy leaf varieties and late planted cotton, these are high risk fields!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You
