“…Black cutworm larval infestations in vegetable and conventional Þeld crops are unpredictable and intermittent (Willson et al 1981). The results of our study were similar; no deÞnitive relationship between black cutworm ßight activity and subsequent larval infestations on putting greens occurred (Tables 2 and 3).…”

“…Methods of monitoring black cutworm adults and other lepidopteran species by using traps such as light traps or bucket traps, Texas corn traps, and phermonebaited sticky traps have been investigated (Willson et al 1981, Levine et al 1982, Durant et al 1986, Hendrix and Showers 1990. The sex pheromone components for black cutworm are (Z)-7-dodecen-1-yl acetate and (Z)-9-tetradecen-1-yl acetate (Hill et al 1979).…”

Comparison of Sticky Wing and Cone Pheromone Traps for Monitoring Seasonal Abundance of Black Cutworm Adults and Larvae on Golf Courses

Black cutworm, Agrotis ipsilon (Hufnagel) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), flight activity was monitored on three golf courses in Wisconsin by using two types of pheromone traps: the Texas cone trap and sticky wing trap. The Texas cone trap caught significantly more black cutworm males compared with the sticky wing trap, capturing almost 12-fold more males. Black cutworm males were most abundant during mid-July in 2001 and 2002, between 700 and 800 cumulative degree-days. Flight activity also was detected in early May and mid-August, but these peaks were not as pronounced as in mid-July. No definitive relationship between black cutworm flight activity and subsequent larval infestations on golf course putting greens occurred.

“…Pheromone traps also capture greater numbers of males in spring than do blacklight traps (Gemeno and Haynes 1998). In late summer and fall, blacklight traps attract many male and female adults, whereas only a few males are captured in pheromone traps (Willson et al 1981). Initial spring captures in our study were later than those in Iowa (Clement et al 1985) and Illinois (Pautler et al 1979) where the spring inßux of black cutworm adults began in the middle of March.…”

“…Pheromone captures of more than nine males per trap were considered indicative of a major inßux of moth into the region (Troester et al 1983, Smelser et al 1991. Above this threshold, attractant trap catches frequently decline regardless of the number of moths in the area, possibly due to repellency (Willson et al 1981).…”

Phenology and Field Biology of Black Cutworm (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in Ontario No-Till Corn

Black cutworm, Agrotis ipsilon (Hufnagel), is an occasional corn, Zea mays L., pest that is attracted to no-till fields. Understanding the phenology of black cutworm in Ontario no-till corn, particularly the time of arrival of adults in relation to the onset of crop damage and the stages of larvae that coincide with vulnerable corn seedling leaf stages, is important for their effective control. Pheromone and blacklight trap captures of moths first occurred in early April, whereas significant influxes did not occur until mid- to late April. Males and females were often captured simultaneously, in contrast to findings in Iowa and Illinois where males were captured in pheromone traps on average 3 wk ahead of females or males in blacklight traps. This may be a reflection of a more mature source population for the influxes into Ontario because first captures also were later than in the United States. Females arrived mated and corn seedling cutting occurred within 137 degree-days (DD) (base 10.4 degrees C) of first capture in Ontario corn. Cutworms were present in cornfields before planting, and the mean age of larvae increased along with corn leaf stage, suggesting that no new recruitment took place after planting. The apparent synchrony between corn and cutworm phenology in the northern areas of corn production seems more related to the availability and quality of food for young larvae relative to the development of the crop then the time of arrival of moths.

“…Due to high resistance to insecticides and nocturnal feeding habits of the larvae, the black cutworm is very difficult to control with insecticides (Han, 1986;Li et al, 2002Li et al, , 2008. Application of the female-produced sex pheromone provides a promising alternative technique in controlling the pests, and it has been successfully used in population forecasting and mating disruption in many countries （Clement et Willson et al, 1981;Levine et al, 1982;Wakamura et al, 1986）. Pioneering work with this species resulted in the identification of two pheromone components Cis-7-dodecenyl acetate (Z7-12∶Ac) and Cis-9-tetradecenyl acetate (Z9-14∶Ac) (Hill et al，1979).…”
