Armyworm Moth Population still rising

The trend of greater armyworm numbers in the Sacramento Valley continues. Here’s the latest from UCCE Rice Farming Systems Advisor Luis Espino:

Number of moths keeps increasing. I spent quite a bit of time at the beginning of the week looking for young worms at several locations, but could not find any yet. I will repeat the search early next week and post the findings on the next email.

For comparison, last year we started finding second instars when the traps were catching between 12 and 15 moths per day.

Intrepid® 2F Armyworm Label Update

You must have the Intrepid® 2F supplemental label in hand as if it were on the container. Intrepid® 2F is the only product with the active ingredient methoxyfenozide registered for use to control armyworm on rice. The registration was complete earlier this year, which left the registrant (Corteva Agriscience) no time to include rice on the label. Corteva Agriscience has made the supplemental label available on the CDMS and Agrian websites. For permitting and label questions, please contact your local agricultural commissioner’s office.
