Soap flushing is equally effective on greens and fairways, is not affected by temperature and time of day, and can extract more than 90% of any adults...
ABW are on the move in New Jersey, and it's time to start monitoring adult ABW populations if you are planning to apply an adulticide.
In 3 days, we saw a jump in ABW adult activity at Blacksburg Country Club and the Virginia Tech Golf Course.
Several heat spells during these past weeks have kept us on our toes regarding the presence of annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) adults.
The weather appears to be warming, and the true spring burst of ABW adult activity is probably coming very soon.
Apart from collecting your own site-specific population data (which may not be practical for all operations), the WeevilTrak blog is the best resource...
In spite of the warm winter and early spring we have not seen ABW activity approach levels that might warrant adulticide applications.
What can we expect early in the season after not having had much of a winter? Not really sure: ABW is a very adaptable creature.
Forsythia is in full bloom along with daffodils and some saucer magnolias. All of this means it is time to start scouting for ABW again.
For now, my advice would be to hang tight, let the spring unfold and plan your scouting for the 2023 season.
In Blacksburg, Virginia, forsythia and Bradford pear are in bloom and daffodils are up all over the place.
Spring is coming early, folks. Time to start checking.
It’s been an unusually warm season and we are seeing early ABW activity at two of three WeevilTrak sites in North Carolina. Historically, first applications...
The signs are pointing to ABW adult activity happening very early in Virginia. We should be on the lookout.
We expect that ABW adults will not rebound, marking the end of our season for monitoring this pest at this location.
With some good ABW populations in our plots in spring followed by the dry summer, we have seen some major reductions in annual bluegrass, and an increase...
I continue to scout at many golf courses throughout the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic and only find select pockets of ABW damage and activity. Stay diligent...
We are now experiencing some spotty ABW damage in central Ohio and western Pennsylvania after an incredibly quiet summer stretch.
