Armyworm trapping season starts

Submitted by laespino on

As you know, we have been monitoring armyworm flights with pheromone traps across the valley since 2018. This year, the first set of traps were put out on 4/10 near Princeton, and today we put out a few more. We checked the first traps today, and we got an average of 2 moths per night per trap. That is high for this time of year; in 2018 and 2019 we were not catching any moths until the first week of May. We will start updating our website, UC Rice Online, once a few more traps are established. Remember you can subscribe to receive email alerts every time the numbers are updated on the website.
