Volume 54 Number 18 Date 08/28/2009 CORN EARWORM - The expected increase in corn earworm numbers was not observed in the past week, except near Tomah in Monroe County where 85 moths were reported on the nights of August 22-26. Although pheromone trap counts have been very low at most locations this month, field observations suggest that larval populations are higher than traps indicate. Cool nightly temperatures may be reducing dispersal. Counts this week were as follows: Chippewa Falls 5, Janesville 1, Lancaster 5, Manitowoc 3, Marshfield 10, Sparta 4, Tomah B 85, and Wausau 0.
