Black Cutworm Identification
By Stephanie Campbell
University of Guelph Student
AGRIS and GROWMARK Summer Intern
The movement of black cutworm is being monitored closely and this year AGRIS has 11 traps out along the lake to hopefully catch the first moths landing in this area. These 11 traps are spread out along the lake ranging from Leamington to Dutton and will be checked twice a week. Updates and trap counts will be available on the AGRIS Co-operative Ltd. website.
Black cutworm moths have reached Southwestern Ontario with traps showing significant catches in some areas. These moths have come in on storm fronts from the south, and are now looking for weedy areas to lay their eggs. The areas that have seen the most catches range from south of Tilbury to the Highgate area. With news that these moths are now in the area, early scouting of corn fields is crucial, especially those which have seen pressure in the past. Moth trap counts of more than 9 per week are considered significant events and we have some greater than 10. However, the emergence of young larva must overlap with the emergence of corn to be a high risk. No reason to worry but every reason to be diligent in scouting.
