Pest Watch - A Valuable Tool to Track Sweet Corn Pests
Managing sweet corn worms is the major pest management challenge for sweet corn growers in mid to late summer. European corn borer (ECB), corn ear worm (CEW), and fall army worm (FAW) all are potential threats to this valuable crop. First generation ECB is the early season threat but CEW requires the most attention from late July until the end of the season. Fall army worm is an occasional pest. Growers have a very valuable tool, http://www.pestwatch.psu.edu/ that tracks the emergence of sweet corn pests throughout the season. Archives of pest watch summaries are available here.
