Laura Lindsey, Osler Ortez

This year, planting has been challenging due to wet weather and inadequate planting conditions across fields. The USDA shows 57% completion of soybean and 63% completion for corn planting in Ohio (week ending May 24, 2026), leaving a significant number of acres yet to be planted going into June (USDA NASS, 2026). When planting is delayed into June, there are a few agronomic practices that should be considered/changed to help minimize yield losses.

We have concluded our sixth week of slug monitoring reports. This week covers the monitoring period from May 25th to 31st. Temperatures in Ohio have finally started to warm up, and the plants are growing. In Wooster, we saw slug damage on soybeans that were planted on May 12th. While the slugs were not present when we walked through the fields, we noticed feeding damage and slime on some of the VE plants.

This is our seventh and final week of monitoring for black cutworm (BCW) and true armyworm (AMW). After this week, we will switch lures to western bean cutworm (WBC) and corn earworm (CEW). In this newsletter article, we are reporting findings from May 25th through May 31st. This past week, temperatures finally warmed up across Ohio, and although we are past our peaks for BCW and AMW, there are still some remaining adults making appearances across the state.
