This is a recent article from our Pest News Alert Newsletter and with all the wheat out this year we thought you would be interested in reading about the armyworms.
Spring must really be here as armyworm (aka true armyworm) moths have taken flight. Only a few moths have been captured thus far, but it does signal the beginning of insect season in the field crops and the current year’s capture is in line with the outbreak year of 2008. It is still too early to get real excited but important enough to be aware.
