June and July have been difficult months for cool-season grasses. One positive note is that ABW pressure appears to be low.
Adult ABW numbers are increasing in Virginia as things are heating up.
I received numerous reports about surging populations of annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) adults at the end of June, but it appears this is a case of mistaken identity.
We witnessed the first in-field generation of ABW in Central and Eastern Virginia during the month of June.
It has been an up-and-down year for ABW in North Carolina.
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...
With plenty of summer yet to come, the addition of insect stress to the heat, drought and disease pressure would not be welcomed. Consider making preventive...
We are now in mid-June 2024, and summer officially begins this coming week. Here's an update on ABW in Blacksburg, VA.

Current data shows that we might be heading in the direction of higher ABW adult densities in the next couple of weeks.
Applications for mid-size ABW larvae are around the corner.
We started to pick up on early instar larvae in our trial work outside of Philadelphia in late April and early May and the larval densities and range...
ABW larval activity has kicked into high gear at most sites in the mid-Atlantic with some of the highest numbers observed in several seasons.
The upcoming two weeks are critical. The management decisions made during this period will significantly influence the size and threat level of successive...
In Blacksburg, VA, we appear to have already experienced the first wave of ABW adults.
Weeviltrak locations in Kentucky have progressed to stage 3 of the Optimum Control Strategy. Continue to monitor and plan larvicide applications for late instars.
Annual bluegrass weevil (ABW) adults are still being caught in pitfall traps in central Ohio with reduced reproduction, and larval development has been noticed.
