Small Rise in Armyworm Detections

Here’s the latest armyworm monitoring update from UCCE Rice Farming Systems Advisor Luis Espino:

Week of August 3

The number of moths has increased slightly in most locations. It seems the upward trend is starting and numbers should continue to go up in the coming days. I have found very few worms in the field and have seen very little injury. 

Western yellowstriped armyworm news:

I was notified of an outbreak of western yellowstriped armyworms in alfalfa in northern Glenn County. Looks like worms were moving out of a recently cut alfalfa field. I have not seen these worms feeding on rice in the past five years. For more information, visit the armyworm monitoring website.

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.
