Insect Alert For
Corn Rootworm
Affected Area:
Alert Details
Initial corn rootworm hatches will be possible late this week into next weekend from southwest into eastern Illinois and also into far western Indiana as soil temperature heat unit accumulations have reached or exceeded initial hatch thresholds in some fields in the risk area. Hatches may be delayed and/or more sporadic this year, however, due to excessive rainfall earlier in the month across this same region.
