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.
Unusually cool early‑spring weather in Chicago has slowed heat accumulation, delaying both plant development and ABW activity.
This spring weather has been a rollercoaster, but the coming weekend should bring warm conditions and a likely increase in ABW adult migration.
ABW adults were observed this past week walking on greens in Central and Eastern Virginia.
As we begin another season of monitoring ABW across the region, it is worth taking a moment to reflect on what we observed during the 2025 season.
Despite a few days of very warm temperatures, we saw zero weevils at BCC or VTGC on March 9.
With the addition of Syngenta's latest innovation, Atexzo, WeevilTrak is now WeevilTrak Plus.
