Yes, Steve McDonald is right: it is a mess! The crazy weather patterns must have the annual bluegrass weevils (ABWs) about as confused as you.
In my career, I thought I had heard every question possible from golf course superintendents until this week. I had a superintendent ask me if I thought...
…it’s (typically) the busiest time for annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) and management in North Carolina. If ever you were going to pick a time to monitor...
The graphs below show the annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) adult (top graphs) and larval densities (bottom graphs) per square foot from the Federal Club...
We have been experiencing an extremely cold stretch of weather in Pennsylvania and Ohio over the last couple of weeks, including two days where we woke...
At Pine Brook Golf Course, annual bluegrass weevil adult numbers determined by soaping have been low all spring (no higher than 0.67 per 1 ft.2 on the fairway).
As of May 3, 2020, good degree days (GDD) are 365, 240 and 175 GDD, respectively, as you move up in elevation from Richmond, Roanoke to Blacksburg.
It is Monday morning, May 4, 2020. My first blog ever. Most superintendents with whom I communicate state that they wanted to wait for their first adulticide...
As many of you follow the news, you hear terms typically used in statistics classes like peak, plateau, spike, curve, and similar when trying to predict...
As of April 18, 2020, good degree days (GDD) since March are quite variable across the state of Virginia.
In the last few days, sites in Cashiers and around the Hendersonville area have seen increased numbers in adults so it is likely time to start planning...
Research clearly shows that soaping is more effective, less variable and less affected by weather than vacuuming.
With no golfers on courses and staff limitations for course maintenance crews, it is a good time to think about streamlining operations, especially if...
In southern New England, the annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) season is just around a corner.
The growing degree day (GDD) accumulations in March had Pennsylvania and Ohio tracking for a very early start to the annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) control season.
Warm temperatures keep increasing across Virginia, so many flowers and trees are in bloom, and annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) adults continue to move.
As of March 23, many areas of Virginia have recently experienced warm temperatures that got annual bluegrass weevil adults moving.
As the managing consultant of WeevilTrak, I am working with other scientists and we plan to do our best this year with trying to predict the best timing...
