Slow initial start to the ABW season in North Carolina, but things are humming along now!
Our ABW adult sampling showed a slight increase in adult ABW activity. Could this be the peak?
There’s been a dramatic decoupling between accumulated GDDs, plant phenology, and adult ABW migration. The divergence we’re seeing this year highlights...
Two courses in the northern Chicago suburbs were the first to report ABW presence in Chicago in 2023, setting the stage for ongoing tracking this year.
ABW are seen in pitfall traps installed in roughs between overwintering sites and low-cut turf mixtures of annual bluegrass and creeping bentgrass in Ohio.
The winter of 2024/2025 brought significant snow, wind and ice in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions. What does this mean for ABW?
Based on the weather forecast for NJ, we can expect to see the beginning of forsythia full bloom and some adult ABWs on the short-mown turfgrass areas.
Spring appears to be here in central PA, and with it comes the start of the ABW monitoring season.
ABW distribution is currently isolated to the Bluegrass region of Kentucky, but all regions should be aware and scout diligently.
Spring has sprung in Blacksburg, VA, with forsythia and daffodils in full bloom in most neighborhoods.
Early ABW presence could mean early peaks, but scouting will be important in determining the peak activity in your respective area.
Kicking off ABW monitoring after an unusual winter in Blacksburg, Virginia.
Early August peak of ABW adults could lead to September larval populations.
Why do small, isolated areas of ABW damage show up in September?
Annual bluegrass weevil numbers are going down, but we're not out of the woods just yet.
The third generation annual bluegrass weevil adults have started to appear after causing turf damage in southern Ohio, and drought may have exacerbated the symptoms.
Labor Day has been a time of increased damage over the past couple of years. Continue to scout and consider making your Stage 7 applications as needed.
Annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) numbers have been, and continue to be, low. However, localized issues are not uncommon this time of year.
