Edgecombe County Cotton Moth Trap 2009

Art Bradley

County Extenson Director

The black light trap is monitored by cooperators within the county to provide a record of the flight activity of the corn earworm moth. This record assists in the determination of the onset of the major moth flight so producers and scouts can increase the frequency and intensity of scouting for eggs. Moth counts are taken on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and reported to the Extension Center. Counts taken on Wednesday and Friday are two-night counts and Monday counts are from three days.
