Fall Armyworm
The majority of counties monitoring for FAW had low trap numbers from August 29th through September 4th with the exception of Lucas, Sandusky and Paulding counties which reported averages of 30, 20.7, and 8.7 moths, respectively (Figure 1). The overall statewide average for FAW was up slightly from the previous week with an average of 4.5 moths per trap (3.9 last week). We will continue monitoring and reporting FAW numbers in Ohio through the end of September.
