Results of pheromone and sticky trap catches can be viewed
here. Corn earworm: Moth activity remains high in some areas, particularly in Dome Valley. Highest counts we’ve observed in the past 6 years at this time of the season. Beet armyworm: Moth activity is increasing with recent warm weather. Trap catches varied across locations with activity greatest in Dome Valley. Cabbage looper: Cabbage looper activity still down compared to counts normally recorded this time pf the year. Whitefly: Adult movement has slowed significantly; captures on sticky traps are very low in all traps. Thrips: To date, thrips activity has been seasonably low at most trap locations. Increased activity near recently harvested melon fields. Aphids: We are beginning to pick up aphids in traps, particularly in the Yuma Valleys consistent with wind’s coming predominantly out of the W-NW in the past two weeks. Leafminers: Adult activity remains seasonably low in all locations, but increasing more so in fields where melons were recently harvested. Diamondback moth: Diamondback moth (DBM) counts in pheromone traps have decreased in most trap locations over the past two weeks, but have increased in Tacna / Roll/ Wellton areas (See DBM Trap Network).
