New Predictive Model Update Page (May 31, 2018; Wk 04)

Updated phenology models for insect pests on the Canadian prairies will be posted to our new Predictive Model Update page during the growing season, as they become available.  This information is intended to supplement the Weekly Updates while providing the most current information to further support in-field scouting.

Whenever items are posted to this page, @vanbugsky will be Tweeting and using #PPMNblog to help users access this most up-to-date information.

This week, an updated table of predicted emergence dates for bertha armyworm was posted for across the Canadian prairies (May 30, 2018).  Those in charge of coordinating deployment of pheromone traps will need to pay particular attention to these dates.
