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.
