ABW adults were observed this past week walking on greens in Central and Eastern Virginia.
The next peak of ABW adults is expected to arrive during the middle of July.
It is expected that ABW immatures will pupate and adults will emerge within the next two weeks
With the first spotting of early instar immature ABW, now is the time to revisit the plan of attack for ABW management.
Early ABW presence could mean early peaks, but scouting will be important in determining the peak activity in your respective area.
Annual bluegrass weevil numbers are going down, but we're not out of the woods just yet.
We continue to observe high adult densities in some of our scouting areas in Central and Eastern VA.
We witnessed the first in-field generation of ABW in Central and Eastern Virginia during the month of June.
Current data shows that we might be heading in the direction of higher ABW adult densities in the next couple of weeks.
Annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) immatures are here. Use these resources to learn about salt flushes and ABW biology, ecology and management.
Our previous records indicate that higher ABW adult densities are expected in mid-April. Will our prediction hold?
The 2023 ABW season might be considered an "atypical" year, but we will continue scouting until the end of October.
Based on our previous data, a third peak of ABW adults is expected later in the year.
Adult ABW numbers are currently low across central and eastern VA, but based on our previous data, immatures might be present in samples during the next two weeks.
This 2023 season has been completely different from what we observed during the past two years regarding ABW activity in central and eastern Virginia.
Fewer annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) adults have been spotted during our scouting rounds in central and eastern Virginia these past two weeks.
Are you scouting for larvae? It might be beneficial to confirm the presence of larvae in your property, so you can plan accordingly to manage this pest.
Several heat spells during these past weeks have kept us on our toes regarding the presence of annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) adults.
