Williams County WBC Monitoring Update – Week #7

By:  Stephanie Karhoff

For the seventh week of monitoring there were 1.33 moths per trap (4 moths in a total of three traps).  You can learn more about this pest by clicking here to access the OSU Extension Western Bean Cutworm Factsheet.

The WBC monitoring program is a state-led initiative to better understand insect populations, and develop management recommendations for growers. Each week, WBC numbers will be published in the C.O.R.N. newsletter. Williams County WBC numbers will also be published on this blog on a weekly basis. If you are interested in hosting a trap in 2021, please call the Williams County Extension Office at 419-636-5608.
