Alert Details

Little to no risk of black cutworm migration is predicted in the next five days. Growers with newly-emerged corn, however, should continue scouting efforts as numerous moth flights earlier this growing season are producing black cutworm larvae that are now at a stage of growth where feeding can and has occurred in portions of the corn-growing region. Plants at the V5 or earlier growth stage are most susceptible to damage.
