The document summarizes preliminary findings from an insect pest survey in Alabama using pheromone traps from 2009. It monitored 16 insect species across multiple counties. Key findings included unusually high trap catches of fall armyworm, beet armyworm, and lesser cornstalk borer, consistent with reported outbreaks. Trap catches varied between counties and were correlated with temperature and rainfall. The project aims to provide early pest information to farmers through websites, emails, and meetings to support vegetable and peanut IPM programs in Alabama.

Editor's Notes
There were at least two generations detected one month apart of BAW in north central AL. Three peaks could be detected one month apart in south AL along the Gulf Coast. Trends were unclear in northern AL.
Trends in FAW population were stronger than BAW seen before. FAW pressures were high in all parts of AL. There were at least two generations detected one month apart of FAW in north central AL. Three peaks could be detected one month apart in south AL along the Gulf Coast. Impact of weather parameters was also stronger on FAW populations than BAW.
