Vegetable Insect Pest Monitoring in Arkansas
This interactive map of Arkansas shows locations of various insect trapping efforts by Extension Specialists and County Agents. When a location is clicked, the map will populate with insect trap data for that region to help indicate pest presence or absence. We are currently monitoring for Squash Vine Borer (Melittia cucurbitae), Cabbage Looper (Trichoplusia ni), and Tomato Fruitworm Moth (Helicoverpa zea). The size of the dots on the map are currently indicators of population size for Tomato Fruitworm Moth.
Pest Alerts!
- Be on lookout for Squash Vine Borers as 750-1000 growing degree days have passed!
- Timely detection of Spotted-wing drosophila important for initiating spray programs.
- We're detecting Spotted-wing drosophila adults across the state in early June; thanks to many County Agents for detection efforts!
