Annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) numbers have been, and continue to be, low. However, localized issues are not uncommon this time of year.
Due to the warm weather, ABW stages are all over the place now.
The first new adults from the ABW spring generation have started to show up in central and northern New Jersey, and, with the current hot weather, numbers...
Applications for mid-size ABW larvae are around the corner.
We should reach the magical number of GDDs for central and northern NJ by late April; however, the phenological indicator plants are well ahead of the GDDs.
This is a good time for a refresher on predicting weevil activities and timing of ABW-cide applications.
Where ABW larval densities are on the higher side, some damage may occur during the hotter and drier days forecasted.
With the forecast for the next week in NJ showing no rain and lots of heat — and with ABW larvae present mostly in the later stages — keep a wary eye...
The first new adults from the annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) spring generation have started to show up in central and northern New Jersey.
In central and northern New Jersey, ABW populations are moving along with larvae now present up to the fifth stage. At high larval densities, damage might...
Soap flushing is equally effective on greens and fairways, is not affected by temperature and time of day, and can extract more than 90% of any adults...
ABW are on the move in New Jersey, and it's time to start monitoring adult ABW populations if you are planning to apply an adulticide.
What can we expect early in the season after not having had much of a winter? Not really sure: ABW is a very adaptable creature.
With some good ABW populations in our plots in spring followed by the dry summer, we have seen some major reductions in annual bluegrass, and an increase...
There has been only limited ABW activity at my research sites in the last weeks. It has been generally very dry since about mid-June and generally very...
With the warm weather we have had in the region, ABW stages and generations have continued to advance quickly.
The spring generation of ABW in central and northern NJ is now mostly in the latter stages.
The period to apply early larvicides to target small ABW larvae feeding inside the turfgrass plants is around the corner.
