Zooming for size perspective of ABW larvae from naked eye view down to the view through a 45x macroscope. Can be very difficult to see, but they do grow up fast and have potential to create problems later down the road.

ABW larval densities picked up quickly over past 5 days in NoVA with counts over 60/ft2 at some sites. Most still 1st/2nd instars, but did find a couple 3rd instars mixed in as well.

While it may seem like a good idea to combine Trimmit and Poacure to increase poa suppression, this combo can actually reduce poa control. This is two fall apps of poacure @ 0.6floz/M alone and combined with four fall apps of Trimmit. Always read and follow your herbicide labels

With a series of warm days lined up across the mid-Atlantic, all signs pointing towards open season on adult ABW. Get your final scouting checks in and apply as appropriate. greencastonline.com/weeviltr…

I would like to thank @JeddNewsome & @scc_golf for hosting a great event on winterkill in our region. @JohnPDaniels said it well, we need some patience and basic agronomics to get through the next few weeks! Warmer temps wouldn’t hurt 😊 #WinterTurf

Aeration isn’t likely to reduce your ABW population, but it does give you an opportunity to scout for Adults. Much like beach lovers, Sunshine and Sand bring tend to bring the adults out……… no soap flush needed!
