New UWEX Pub – Western bean cutworm: A pest of field and sweet corn
Eileen Cullen, Field Crop Extension Entomologist
Western bean cutworm (WBC), traditionally a pest of the western Corn Belt, is an emerging pest in Wisconsin. As this pest will likely become established after arrival in a state, it is important that growers and agricultural professionals know how to identify and manage it. UW Extension Publication A3856 Western bean cutworm: A pest of field and sweet corn explains WBC appearance, life cycle, corn scouting protocols, economic thresholds, and management options including: biological and natural controls, chemical control, and the importance of insect resistance management when using transgenic Bt corn hybrids for WBC management. This publication also provides links to the Western Bean Cutworm pheromone trapping network, maintained by Iowa State University, which includes Wisconsin real time data throughout the 2008 growing season.
