Western Bean Cutworm
Western bean cutworm moth emergence is expected to increase in the coming days, with Moderate risks in place across portions of Nebraska and Kansas as well as into northern Indiana and Ohio, southern lower Michigan and far southwest Ontario, Canada, and also central Wisconsin, with Low risks across these same states/province in addition to far northeast Colorado and then across the Great Lakes from central Indiana and Ohio northward into central lower Michigan, southwest Ontario, Canada, and also into far northern Illinois and Wisconsin. Growers in or near any risk level should already be monitoring traps but also be prepared to begin regular scouting efforts as the treatment window for western bean cutworms is somewhat narrow to prevent significant yield loss.
