There has been only limited ABW activity at my research sites in the last weeks. It has been generally very dry since about mid-June and generally very...
There is still time for more adults to come into the system before colder conditions set here in Central and East Virginia, so we might see an increase...
July of 2022 will go down in the records as being very warm. Depending on your exact location there were more than 15 or 16 days where the low temperatures...
ABW adult activity peaked in mid-June but has been steady for over a month now in Blacksburg, Virginia. It suggests that scouting for adults is warranted...
WeevilTrak site reports from the last 2-3 weeks indicate that ABW adult activity has not really slowed, and has even increased, in some areas. Despite...
ABW issues remain quiet on most of our sites – which I think is a testament to diligent scouting and timely (and effective) controls.
We continue to recover immatures from our soil core samples, indicating that some adults are expected to emerge throughout the next two weeks.
Currently, I am finding very low levels of adults, callow adults and all different stages of larvae in untreated turf in my trial areas.
With the warm weather we have had in the region, ABW stages and generations have continued to advance quickly.
It has been relatively quiet on the ABW front since mid-June. The way I see it, the options are to either: (1) do nothing, or (2) make spot treatments...
With the low number of larvae found it may be a time to be patient and keep scouting diligently.
Immatures have been detected from our soil plug samples since the past two weeks. This is an indication that immatures are already present in our system...
ABW adult activity in NC in 2022 was certainly more unpredictable when you compare application timing at each site to that of previous years.
The spring generation of ABW in central and northern NJ is now mostly in the latter stages.
I would recommend actively scouting for adults over the next two to three weeks. This stage is by far the most apparent stage and can provide valuable...
Last week we saw a flush of new ABW adults occurring on golf courses in Virginia. We certainly advise sampling for adults and treating as needed with adulticides.
For most of you, the first round of ABW damage should be past the peak. It is important to continue to scout your golf course for larvae if you have made application(s).
Be on the lookout in Virginia. We’re seeing a mix of adults and larvae of all sizes.
