The 2024 spring weather has been erratic. Here's a recap of the first month of ABW monitoring in Blacksburg, Virginia.
Our previous records indicate that higher ABW adult densities are expected in mid-April. Will our prediction hold?
As of March 21, 2024 in Blacksburg, VA, we’ve accumulated 37 GDD (since March 1) and forsythia is in full bloom.
Observed early March ABW activity suggests that they will return, and being vigilant with your scouting is essential.
Due to the warm weather in winter, ABW adults in the Greater Cincinnati and Columbus areas have been active earlier this year. Adulticides should be prepared...
This is a good time for a refresher on predicting weevil activities and timing of ABW-cide applications.
Sites are nearing a threshold for treatment in multiple counties, putting us a few weeks ahead of schedule for the first round of ABW apps.
What does a warm, wet winter with an extremely warm week in the middle of March mean for annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) management?
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...
As predicted, the warm sunny weather brought some ABW activity.
Weevil adults are poised and ready to move out of the high grass. It’s time to start monitoring.
The 2023 ABW season might be considered an "atypical" year, but we will continue scouting until the end of October.
As the ABW season begins to wind down, I would encourage you to think about where and when you saw damage this year and plan accordingly for next year.
2023 will go down in every golf course superintendent’s head as an extremely wacky mixture of weather.
Where ABW larval densities are on the higher side, some damage may occur during the hotter and drier days forecasted.
Based on our previous data, a third peak of ABW adults is expected later in the year.
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.
