Fall Armyworm Damage in Nebraska
There have been recent reports of fall armyworm damage, egg masses, and the emergence of a new generation in Gage and Lancaster counties in Nebraska. We are also experiencing this at our East Campus Research Center in Lincoln. In collaboration with the Nebraska Extension Entomology group, we released an article on our turf.unl.edu website, and on Gro Big Red by Extension Educator Entomologist Jody Green, with more information on fall armyworm.
This is critical, especially with the increase in temperatures can increase emergence in fall armyworm. If you see any fall armyworm at or near turfgrass areas, from egg masses to the adult form of fall armyworm, please report to your nearest Nebraska Extension office and/or contact me Amanda Folck, Asst Extension Educator: Turfgrass Management at afolck3@unl.edu.
