The next peak of ABW adults is expected to arrive during the middle of July.
First-generation ABW adults have started to emerge throughout Ohio with more coming.
Stay vigilant. July has been a busy month for ABW in NC in recent years.
With high temperatures and dry conditions expected across much of the region, turf may rapidly transition from moisture surplus to stress, exposing underlying ABW injury.
Pupation is likely underway or imminent, and emergence of first-generation ABW adults can be expected in the next 2 – 3 weeks, along with the potential...
If you are planning to apply an adulticide to manage the adults of the ABW spring generation, it is time to start scouting for them.
We are monitoring ABW pyrethroid susceptibility in Virginia to help guide superintendents on making confident insecticide choices for ABW adults this year.
The first reports of ABW adult damage in Kentucky came in late May.
ABW pressure is higher than in previous years in the Mid-Atlantic. Continue scouting for emerging adults.
As May draws to a close, we are likely seeing the new first generation of ABW adults active on golf courses.
It is expected that ABW immatures will pupate and adults will emerge within the next two weeks
The detection of first instar larvae signals the onset of Stage 3 in ABW development. Early detection is critical for the timely management and prevention of turf injury.
As early ABW damage appears in central and southern Ohio, curative larvicides should be applied as needed before damage becomes exacerbated.
Rain, wind and numerous severe weather events provided only small windows of time for applications.
Larval activity has increased at most NC WeevilTrak sites.
I started to see large ABW damage from larvae and even some pupae in Virginia and Maryland last week.
Based on the indicator plants and the larval stage average, it is now time to apply larvicides against the mid-size larvae that have started to exit the plants.
It is too late for adulticides in New England. Instead, the focus should be on management of larvae feeding inside of the stem.
