Areawide Insect Trapping Network
The project is designed to measure the activity and movement of adult populations
of a number of key pests. The project is being funded by the Arizona Iceberg Lettuce
Research Council, and will hopefully provide an indication of when pest activity (e.g.,
corn earworm moth flights) is increasing based on pheromone / sticky trap captures.
The data is not intended to indicate field infestations, as trap data is largely a
reflection of adult movement. If nothing else, the data may make PCAs aware of
increased pest activity in some areas and encourage intensified scouting in
susceptible produce fields.
The pests being monitored include: corn earworm, beet armyworm, cabbage looper
using pheromone traps; aphids, thrips, leafminers and whiteflies using yellow sticky
traps. Traps are checked weekly and data is available in the bi-weekly Veg IPM
updates. If a PCA or grower is interested in weekly counts, those can be made
available by contacting us. A total of 15 trapping locations have been established in
the following areas (approximate location):
