Posted on: June 6, 2001 by Jerry Neufeld
Cabbage loopers are damaging mint fields in the Nampa area. Loopers have a high mortality rate due to parasites and diseases, but can do a lot of damage when high populations exist. At this early part of the season, a healthy stand of mint can take some looper damage and recover. Most loopers observed on 6/5/01 were in the 2nd and 3rd instar, and have a lot of growing to do yet. Information provided by Thad Schutt of AM Todd.
