The period to apply early larvicides to target small ABW larvae feeding inside the turfgrass plants is around the corner.
If you have any hotspots you are worried about, I would encourage you to go ahead and take some plugs to see if you can spot larvae yourself.
As predicted in my previous blog last week, we are in Stage 1 of the weevil control program, where adulticide applications should be considered.
All we know so far is that Richmond is ahead of our Williamsburg location, and control tactics have been tailored to follow scouting data. Proper timing...
Is it a low year for weevils or are we about to find some late bloomers coming in late April? We will keep you posted.
If you are planning to treat for ABW adults, it is important to keep your finger on the pulse and not spray on a calendar-based program when possible.
Remember that even if you start seeing adults on the surface, resist the temptation to use an adulticide before that magical Forsythia "half green - half...
With the current weather forecast, I expect peak adult densities to occur around Friday, April 15. But after that it will get quite cool for a while so...
Weevils remain elusive in western and central Pennsylvania largely in part to the extended cold weather. So, please be patient and keep scouting!
ABW adult activity at WeevilTrak sites has been low and slow since the first adult appearance in late February. Numbers are consistently below threshold...
ABW are already present in all monitoring sites located in central and east Virginia. We highly encourage you to actively scout for ABW adults, considering...
As we work to best understand the development of annual bluegrass weevil in Kentucky, this wily weevil keeps on throwing us curveballs.
As of March 25, 2022, in Blacksburg, Virginia, we’ve only accumulated about 39 GDD since March 1. We’re a little behind normal, but there are definite...
We’re back at it in upstate New York and have started scouting for ABW near Lake Ontario and in New York’s southern tier.
The turf is beginning to wake up and annual bluegrass weevil activity will be close behind.
Another weevil season is upon us and while we have had some crazy cold weather in the last week or two, adult annual bluegrass weevils are active.
We are gearing up to start a new monitoring season for ABW here in Virginia.
The growing degree day monitors have been placed at Pine Brook Golf Course (Manalapan, New Jersey) and Preakness Hills Country Club (Wayne, New Jersey...
