Colusa

I have only received one weed-related farm call in my two seasons as the vegetable crop advisor in Colusa, Sutter and Yuba counties. In early August 2017, one of the melon PCAs I work with called me up to tell me about a grassy weed in a fresh-market honeydew field.

A quick post today to share a link to the recently revised "UC IPM Pest Management Guidelines for Walnut" (UC ANR Publication #3471).

We are seeing severe armyworm infestations in the field. Moth numbers have stayed relatively constant in a few locations, still on the increase in Sutter and Yolo counties. This means that egg laying may continue and we may have more worms coming up.

UC Cooperative Extension has augmented efforts to monitor armyworm populations in rice fields since 2015 when we observed large populations earlier in the year (June) than previously observed. Here in San Joaquin County, we began monitoring in Delta rice fields a couple weeks ago.
