As we approach Labor Day, I would like to remind turfgrass managers in western PA and OH that this is when we often observe small flare-ups with 3rd generation larvae.
In the past week I have been on four different golf courses with significant damage from ABW.
Green keeping can be a very humbling task, and ABW activity continues to be difficult to predict.
It’s been a challenging year for us to find ABW larvae at our monitoring sites in Blacksburg, VA, but we’ve been able to track some definite population...
It seems like whenever I make a generalized statement about ABW adult activity, the beetles immediately do the opposite.
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.
With the forecast for the next week in NJ showing no rain and lots of heat — and with ABW larvae present mostly in the later stages — keep a wary eye...
ABW continue to damage turf this season in several counties across the state.
We are pleased to share that the damage caused by ABW has remained relatively minor in the region. However, steady rainfall patterns may contribute to...
This 2023 season has been completely different from what we observed during the past two years regarding ABW activity in central and eastern Virginia.
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.
The first new adults from the annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) spring generation have started to show up in central and northern New Jersey.
The first annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) generation has largely concluded on most of our monitoring sites.
In Blacksburg, VA, ABW numbers went from almost none in late May to more than 10 per square foot on June 1.
Fewer annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) adults have been spotted during our scouting rounds in central and eastern Virginia these past two weeks.
The first reports of annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) damage have come this week in Kentucky.
A couple days ago, I posted that we are definitely in the large larvae stage of ABW in southwest Virginia. Well, that was confirmed today.
It could be a light year for annual bluegrass weevil and/or a very good control program.
