Armyworms brought by Tropical Storm Debby wreaking havoc on homeowners wral.com/story/armyworm…



Testing out a new, self-reporting Fall Armyworm Map – (ncturfbugs.wordpress.ncsu.edu/interactive-fa…). Please use the current date as the "Entry Name" so that we can track populations over time. Thank you to those who have already added pins!


Fall armyworm QOTD: Can they move from infested turf to neighboring ornamentals? Yes, they sure can. They prefer grasses but will feed on all aboveground parts of herbaceous ornamentals. Liquid products for pyrethroids (short-term), diamides provide longer window of protection.

🚨Fall armyworms are no joke, y'all. Hitting NC hard and fast after Debby. Keep an eye out for egg masses, caterpillars and be sure to soap flush. Pyrethroids for immediate control, diamides for long-term.

Fall armyworm egg masses everywhere right now. They darken as they get closer to egg hatch. Excessive rainfall may slow them down for a bit but once the storm moves through, expect activity to increase quickly and substantially.

With the forecasted rain, if you haven’t done so already, it is a good idea to get some Pythium and leaf spot protection down for bermudagrass greens. Another app for root rot on bent might be needed too! Pay attention to @TheTerriBee for an update of army worms after this too.

Lots of JBs in traps in Washington Co. Time for preventive grub apps in that area. Hold off for at least a week or two if you're further west.. ncturfbugs.wordpress.ncsu.edu/pest-tracking-…

jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/200454 We are looking for a turfgrass weed scientist at NC State. This position focuses on extension and research. We have an amazing turfgrass field lab and program funding through the Turfgrass Center for Environmental Research and Education! Come and join us!


Periodical cicadas been clogging our pheromone traps the last few weeks but finally making room for JB adults. 🚨First JB sightings in Wake and Lee counties. Not time to spray yet, just an early alert 😇 #shedoesntevengohere
