A perfect storm - if you were a migrating black cutworm moth. A significant influx of black cutworm moths arrived in Minnesota April 16-17. To follow the arrival of moths this spring and info on biology, scouting and management see swroc.cfans.umn.edu/research/ipm/b…
Alfalfa weevil are not yet active in UMN SWROC (Lamberton,MN) alfalfa.vegedge.umn.edu/alfalfa-weevil. I did find a few overwintered, brown-headed clover leaf weevil larvae. Rarely crop pests here, they feed lower in the canopy than black-headed alfalfa weevils.
The weather system that brought wind and rain over the weekend also brought black cutworm moths to some southern Minnesota traps. Cooperators will be monitoring black cutworm and armyworm flights into MN this spring.
This one is out of the gene pool but I hope his relatives freeze their abdomens off next week. But, I'm not optimistic.
February 26 at the SWROC. No frost left, worked up nice. Might as well plant some oats. We'll see what happens. Planting corn or beans would have been silly.
Seeing small dark moths? Green cloverworm moths have been abundant the past few weeks. The larvae caused concern in some MN soybean fields earlier, especially parts of WC Minnesota.
Entomophaga grylli kills quite a few grasshoppers. This fungal disease is favored by moisture. Infected hoppers move to the top of a plant and die. This helps the fungal spores disperse. Nifty, eh?
Good crowd and good weather to view research and discuss #cornrootworm management today. Corn rootworm management field day @UMN_SWROC . @mncorn @UMNExt @UMN_Entomology
Northern corn rootworms and extended diapause will make CRW management difficult in areas of MN. Large numbers of adults are active near corn, on pollinating plants (Asteraceae in particular) and at lights. Harmless goldenrod soldier beetle at upper right.
I suppose most everyone has a few bad habits.
2023 MN northern corn rootworm populations (and extended diapause) increased. Adults are aggregating on weeds an late corn now. Don't assume field edge populations reflect the whole field.
A view from my veranda. Looks like Mount Kilamanjaro forming in the background. Someone is getting some weather.
A few fields in SW MN are at economic threshold (the real one) for #soybeanaphid. High temps might affect aphids and insecticide apps. These will develop wings (note developing wing pads). Most will leave the plant.
I seem to be consistently good at scheduling root digs/ #cornrootworm evaluations during a heat wave. Western pressure lower at @UMN_SWROC this year. Late May planting might have starved early hatchers.
Hopefully not all but, a few species really irritate me.
Seeing quite a few green cloverworm moths in SW MN soybean now.
1st generation adult soybean gall midge are active and we are now seeing more wilting and 2nd generation larvae. Next 3-4 weeks will be prime to find new infestations.
Looks like a lot of agronomic decisions.
Looks like a lot of agronomic decisions.
Something to watch for this year. The SW MN blacklight trap is capturing a few western bean cutworm moths. Similar to 2000-2001 levels here but much lower numbers than states with WBC problems. Moths and an ear with feeding by WBC larvae.
Some of your purslane crop might be saved from white lined sphinx larvae if you have some prostrate knotweed around @MNWeedWizard.
