Dr. Jim Barbour from the UI Parma R and E Center, Terry Clinton from Crookham Company and I are once again collaborating on a project to trap corn earworm moths across the Treasure Valley. We set out 14 traps at various locations from near Melba to near Weiser. I check the traps once a week and post the moth counts to this website. Click on the pdf below for this week’s moth count. Purdue University recommends the treatment threshold to be 10 moths per trap per night.

sugarbeet root aphids
Posted on: August 20, 2010 by Jerry Neufeld
UI Extension Entomologist Erik Wenninger is reporting that sugar beet root aphids have been observed on the roots of common lambsquarters within sugar beet fields in Kimberly. Aphids have not yet been observed on adjacent beets, but they are expected to move to beets soon. Sugar beet root aphids may be pinhead sized and up to 5/64-inch (2 mm) long. They are pale whitish yellow and broadly oval to pear shaped. They secrete white, waxy strands, which give beets a distinctive “moldy” appearance. Severe infestations may reduce tonnage and sucrose levels. There are no rescue insecticide options available; when root aphids are found attacking beets, cultural control practices should be followed (see below).
Sugar beet root aphids feed on the roots of sugar beet plants, but will also attack closely related species, including spinach, table beets, common lambsquarters, and pigweed. Pulling alternate weed hosts found within or adjacent to sugar beet fields and inspecting the roots for aphids and distinctive wax secretions may be a convenient method of preliminary scouting. If aphids are found on weeds, then nearby sugar beets should be examined as well.
When root aphid infestations are found on sugar beets, careful maintenance of a proper irrigation schedule is the single most important cultural control tool available. Damage by root aphids is exacerbated when plants are drought stress (conversely, diseases are encouraged when plants are over irrigated), so an optimal irrigation schedule will enhance the ability of the crop to resist attack from aphids. In addition, good management of alternate weed hosts (including lambsquarters, dock, pigweed, and prostrate knotweed) is important, and care should be taken to avoid contaminating uninfested fields with soil or irrigation water from an infested field. The use of resistant sugar beet varieties may be considered for future plantings.

Black Bean Aphids
Sugarbeets Magic Valley
Black Bean Aphid
Posted on: August 10, 2010 by Jerry Neufeld
UI Extension Entomologist Erik Wenninger is reporting sporadic black bean aphid infestations have been observed in several sugar beet fields across the Magic Valley. The black bean aphid is a dark-bodied aphid, about 1/16 inch long; individuals may be winged or wingless. Aphids may be found on the young leaves within the crown of sugar beets. Infestations usually occur as scattered hot spots or along edges rather than uniformly across the entire field. Colonies can produce massive amounts of honeydew, which causes a black, sooty mold to cover the leaves.
There are no formal economic thresholds for insecticide treatment decisions for bean aphids, but treatment should be considered if fields are under heavy pressure. When scouting a field, it is important to sample plants in several representative areas across a field, because infestations may be patchy. Also, several predators (notably, lady beetles) and parasites attack bean aphids and may effectively suppress aphid populations. Therefore, it is advisable to assess natural enemy populations when making a decision on whether to apply insecticides.
In addition to sugar beets, black bean aphids may be found in other crops, including beans and corn.
For current information on registered insecticides, consult the Pacific Northwest Insect Management Handbook (http://uspest.org/pnw/insects).
