Volume 56 Number 20 Date 11/17/2011 CORN EARWORM - A lengthy flight began by July 27 and continued though September 21. The eight-week migration yielded a cumulative total of 4,571 moths at 15 sites, with a well-defined peak from August 4-10. Compared to 2010, the flight was smaller and moth activity was more concentrated in the south-central and central counties. Late sweet corn and other susceptible crops such as tomatoes and snap beans remained under a moderate to severe threat until mid-September. --Krista Hamilton, DATCP Entomologist
