Armyworm Monitoring: Start to Season and Updates

Armyworm Monitoring: Start to Season and Updates

The University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE) is actively setting up traps across the Sacramento Valley to monitor armyworms.

According to the UCCE, it’s difficult to tell if drought conditions will make planted rice fields more susceptible to damage from the pests. UCCE notes that population trends for the armyworm have been declining over the last two years and that the larvae can feed on many different plants.

They will monitor 12 of the typical 15 locations this year.

Intrepid® 2F Armyworm Label Update

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.
