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.
Despite having a relatively busy few weeks, ABW activity has finally seemed to drop off for the season.
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...
