Our ninth (and final) slug update for the season and it covers monitoring from July 7th to July 13th. During this time, there were 6 counties that monitored a total of 36 shingle traps. Slug counts were similar to last week, and the average slug count per county was 0.8. The highest average slug count was 4.6 slugs in Seneca County, which has had higher slug averages in the past weeks. Slug shingle monitoring ranged over 9 weeks (3 weeks before plant and 6 weeks after plant). The majority of the monitoring counties have completed the monitoring period, so we will no longer be giving weekly slug updates. Slug shingle monitoring in Ohio is funded by the United Soybean Board.
