Despite low pressure, ABW larvae are maturing. Scout locally to ensure timely applications.
This spring is unchartered territory and will require intensified larval sampling.
Spring of 2026 seems like yo‑yo weather with dry conditions and major temperature swings.
The 2026 ABW season is in full swing in Central and Eastern Virginia.
Across our WeevilTrak Plus sites, GDD accumulation climbs, Forsythia is in (or close to) full bloom and peak ABW adult activity is just around the corner.
ABW adult activity remains minimal at Virginia Tech Golf Course and Blacksburg Country Club.
I think this might be the worst rollercoaster early spring in my memory, and the upcoming heatwave should push indicator plants and weevil activity along.
Kentucky courses have progressed to WeevilTrak Plus Phase 1, and we found our first larva of the year.
ABW activity remains minimal in north suburban metropolitan Chicago.
Scouting results have mirrored the rollercoaster temperature swings that we have been experiencing in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions since March.
This is the warmest and most unusual spring I have observed since 2015.
ABW activity is oddly quiet in Blacksburg despite rising GDDs.
Based on the forecasted warm weather and observed ABW activities, peak adult activities are expected to arrive in the next two weeks.
Weevil season has started in North Carolina!
My predictions of earlier movement of ABW have not panned out, and once again these bugs have me wondering what is next.
Nine years of research: Why Atexzo is such an exciting new tool.
Atexzo is shaping up to be a valuable addition to ABW management programs.
A colder‑than‑usual winter and an early‑March warm spell have shifted ABW timing.
