Field
Trap Averages Broken Out By County
Table
of All Field Trap Averages
This
summary contains trap capture averages for 271 sites from Illinois.
We believe this summary will provide producers with general information
regarding the presence of western corn rootworm in their county.
However, trap capture averages may vary greatly from field to field
within a county. Producers should scout each field and decisions
regarding the use of a soil insecticide must be made on a field-by-field
basis. We continue to encourage the use of 12 Pherocon AM traps
per field over a four week period as described in the Western Corn
Rootworm Insect Information sheet to determine if a soil insecticide
application is necessary. The four trap method described in the
publication is only to determine the presence of the western corn
rootworm. University of Illinois Extension would like to thank all
the individuals who participated in this program and look forward
to continued cooperation to improve control of the western corn
rootworm in Illinois.
The
Western
Corn Rootworm Insect Information sheet is available on the internet,
or a copy may be obtained by contacting University of Illinois Extension,
Department of Crop Sciences, 1102 S. Goodwin Avenue, Urbana, IL
61801, (217) 333-6651, or via email (ipm@uiuc.edu)
Producers
may also report their scouting
results directly to the University of Illinois Extension via
the Internet.
