ABW adults have been seen moving on putting greens, but adults in September rarely indicate that there will be a big problem with larvae in October.
The 2025 growing season has been difficult. Continue to scout your golf course for ABW.
Pressure is low at every golf course I have visited since the middle of June, but keep your eyes to the ground and scout to avoid sneaky ABW damage.
ABW pressure is higher than in previous years in the Mid-Atlantic. Continue scouting for emerging adults.
I started to see large ABW damage from larvae and even some pupae in Virginia and Maryland last week.
The correlation between seeing an increase in ABW adults and the forsythia 50% green (leaves) and 50% gold (flowers) has long been the target, but this...
The winter of 2024/2025 brought significant snow, wind and ice in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions. What does this mean for ABW?
Why do small, isolated areas of ABW damage show up in September?
Annual bluegrass weevil pressure remains low, but it is not uncommon to see some activity in September and early October.
June and July have been difficult months for cool-season grasses. One positive note is that ABW pressure appears to be low.
This year, the Memorial Day holiday correlated with the first round of annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) damage in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
We started to pick up on early instar larvae in our trial work outside of Philadelphia in late April and early May and the larval densities and range...
For golf courses in the Mid-Atlantic region, there have been two dominating weather themes for April — and these are not the eclipse and earthquake.
What does a warm, wet winter with an extremely warm week in the middle of March mean for annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) management?
2023 will go down in every golf course superintendent’s head as an extremely wacky mixture of weather.
I have seen a few pockets of ABW damage over the past two to three weeks, but late summer and early autumn ABW activity can be impacted by agronomic inputs.
Green keeping can be a very humbling task, and ABW activity continues to be difficult to predict.
The golf course is subject to the effects of weather 365 days per year, and this year's wacky weather has surely impacted the activity of insects and disease pests.
