Western Bean Cutworm and Scouting in Dry Beans

August 26, 2011 • Written by Tracey Baute
Western Bean Cutworm and Scouting in Dry Beans
It's time to get out and scout for WBC damage in dry beans.  Based on trap counts we are now confident that some counties experienced peak flight the last week of July and others the first week of August.  Though I will admit that some trap sites are still catching lots of moths, especially the be...

August 8, 2011 • Written by Tracey Baute
Reports are coming in late last week of fields in Eastern Ontario reaching well above threshold levels for soybean aphids.  Just a few weeks prior, these fields had only 30 to 40 per plant.  I suspect other fields in even Central and Southern Ontario will also experience this kind of rapid increas...

Use Cruiser on Soys This Year - Particularly in South Bruce/North Huron
Now that some of you have been fortunate enough to get some corn in, I am hearing reports and seeing tweets that soybean planting has also started.   If there was a year to protect your soybeans with an insecticide seed treatment it is this year.  Bean leaf beetles are going to be awfully hungry ...

May 12, 2010 • Written by Tracey Baute
Thanks to Nick Zwambag for commenting on here that they are seeing cabbage seedpod weevil activity in winter canola near thamesville earlier this week.  But with this weather, little can be done about it and fortunately the cool temps should slow them down a bit.   Scout once this front goes thro...

Until Mid R6, Soys Still Need Attention – Aphids, BLB and Stink Bugs

September 11, 2009 • Written by Tracey Baute
There are a few guys out there thinking that with the cooler nights, SOYBEAN APHIDS will be leaving their fields so they don't need to spray those fields that recently reached threshold.  If aphids are staying at threshold levels 3 or 4 days after the initial assessment, you still need to spray. ...

Not much happening yet

May 26, 2009 • Written by Tracey Baute
Since there is not much crop up yet to spot feeding injury on, there really is not much happening yet on the insect front.  However, anyone that did push planting and planted into too wet or cool soils, or deep planted may start seeing some issues when the crops starts to emerge.  Millipedes and s...

May 15, 2009 • Written by Tracey Baute
Just in case some of you are keen and plan to be scotuing this long weekend, there are a few critters you should be watching for. Alfalfa weevil (AW) larvae are starting in some fields.  So far just the smaller 1st and 2nd instars but warmer weather will help them grow too.  Stay ahead of any inf... Continue reading →
