This page will be updated every 3-4 days with Canola, Durum and Lentil insect maps throughout our critical Insect Pressure windows over the next 5 weeks.
Below is our current Canola map based on only a few fields scouted, as fields are just beginning to bloom. Even though these early fields averaged just 3% Bloom, we counted near threshold levels of Cabbage Seedpod Weevil and a significant population of Diamondback Moth. No significant levels of Lygus Bug, Bertha Armyworm, or Grasshopper were reported, but based on this much Seedpod Weevil and Diamondback pressure at such an early stage we expect above threshold levels to persist through much of our geography. Given the building Seedpod Weevil population, this was not unexpected, but we were mildly surprised by the Diamondbacks, just as we have been more years than not over the last 10 years.

J-MAS customer seeded acres are now just 3% behind the 2012 total seeded acreage pace. Another massive 40%+ of J-MAS acres were seeded this week.
For a full breakdown, and previous week’s progress, the 2013 Seeding Progress Page has been updated with year to year and crop by crop comparisons.
Local seeded acres are currently 21% below 2012 total seeded acreage at this time last year. A massive 40% of J-MAS acres were seeded this week.

Remember, there are restrictions to using PrePass or Express “post”-seed if you were unable to do a “pre”-seed Burnoff. If you were not, we have only a matter of days after seeding to still get this very important (on Canola stubble) application done to control the coming flush of Volunteer Canola. Here are the options we have if you are in this predicament with early seeded Durum that is now 4-6 days after seeding.
Local seeded acres are currently 19.4% below 2012 total seeded acreage and counting, with seeding still at least 2-3 days away – a solid 10+ days behind normal.
