The above photos show a catch of 17 Western Bean Cutworm moths caught in one of our Western Bean Cutworm traps located on Hwy 59 just north of Springford.Western bean cutworm is new to Ontario.Growers should be aware of its presence as the larvae of Western Bean Cutworm can do ravaging damage to the ear.The good news for growers is that if they have planted Herculex1 Bt corn they will be safe from most of the ravaging damage that this corn pest can cause.Herculex 1 Bt will control 85-90% of larval egg hatch.
