Black Cutworm

I heard a reminder on the radio today that local people are catching lots of black cutworm moths in traps.  This could mean a large outbreak.  Be sure to know if your hybrid is resistant to black cutworms.  Some are, some are not.  If not, scout for them.  If you find more than 3 spray them.  They will eat off a lot of corn if left unsprayed. 

University of Illinois has a website that provides Insecticide evaluation for all the common insecticides.  Check it out if you are not sure what to use.
