Those monitoring BAW pheromone traps may want to compare trap “catches” to the following reference photo kindly shared by Saskatchewan Agriculture below:
Provincial staff coordinate BAW pheromone trapping across the prairies and summarize cumulative counts in report or map formats:
● Saskatchewanians.... Watch for future Insect Reports.
● Manitobans..... Exceedingly low numbers of male moths were intercepted during the first week of monitoring (Insect and Disease Report posted June 15, 2016, prepared by J. Gavloski).
● Albertans...... Refer to the live 2016 map reporting Bertha armyworm pheromone trap interceptions. A copy of the map (retrieved June 22, 2016) is below for reference.
