ABW counts have been quite variable across locations this year, highlighting the need to scout your own course closely.
Turf damage caused by ABW has been recorded earlier than expected, with larvae causing damage in untreated turf.
Despite low pressure, ABW larvae are maturing. Scout locally to ensure timely applications.
Kentucky courses have progressed to WeevilTrak Plus Phase 1, and we found our first larva of the year.
My predictions of earlier movement of ABW have not panned out, and once again these bugs have me wondering what is next.
This spring weather has been a rollercoaster, but the coming weekend should bring warm conditions and a likely increase in ABW adult migration.
ABW activity has been very slow this month after what has been a very dry August and September across most of the state.
Cooler weather is approaching in the coming weeks, which may be the first glimpse of light at the end of the tunnel.
The first reports of ABW adult damage in Kentucky came in late May.
Rain, wind and numerous severe weather events provided only small windows of time for applications.
Larvae sampling suggests we are a little behind expectations based on GDD's and plant phenology, but with upcoming warmer temperatures, I expect the larvae...
ABW distribution is currently isolated to the Bluegrass region of Kentucky, but all regions should be aware and scout diligently.
Labor Day has been a time of increased damage over the past couple of years. Continue to scout and consider making your Stage 7 applications as needed.
With plenty of summer yet to come, the addition of insect stress to the heat, drought and disease pressure would not be welcomed. Consider making preventive...
Weeviltrak locations in Kentucky have progressed to stage 3 of the Optimum Control Strategy. Continue to monitor and plan larvicide applications for late instars.
Spring marches on in the Bluegrass State, and we continue to see ABW activity.
Due to the increased densities of ABW, Kentucky has progressed to stage one of WeevilTrak’s optimum control strategy. If your scouting finds ABW increasing...
The Commonwealth of Kentucky has quickly come back to life over the past week. Our spring indicator plants are telling us, and on the ground scouting...
