Insect Trap Data Available for Download
Since 1993, the University of Kentucky Integrated Pest Management
Program has been collecting data from insect pheromone traps. Pheromone
traps can show when the adults of certain pest species are flying. Numbers
of individuals captured are NOT directly related to damage levels in crops.
This is especially true of regional trapping. However, over several seasons
you can obtain the background data for many species that will indicate
heavy, light or normal captures of the insect. Pheromone traps can help
in determining if and when a pest is present in your fields.
The following data, insect trap counts, from 1993 through 2005
were collected at the University of Kentucky Research and Education Center
located in Caldwell County in western Kentucky. The geographic location
of the Research Center is N: 37° 06' 01" / W: 087° 51' 13" / Alt: 550ft.
Traps were checked on a weekly basis. A modified Texas cone trap was used
for all insects except the Southwestern corn borer which used a green
bucket trap. For additional information select an insect below.
To view the data you will need Microsoft ExcelŽ.
