2023 Ontario Corn Rootworm Trap Network Report

Results from the 2023 Ontario corn rootworm (CRW) trap sites monitored through the Adult Corn Rootworm (CRW) Trap Monitoring Network have been summarized in the infographic below. Thank you to all the trap participants for monitoring their traps this year. These sites are helping us to identify fields and counties with potential resistant corn rootworm populations and understand the rootworm risk for 2024 in continuous corn fields. A big thanks to Dan Bihari, Senior GIS Specialist, OMAFRA for developing and maintaining the trap network site and to our sponsors including Grain Farmers of Ontario (GFO), Agricultural Biotechnology Stewardship Technical Committee (ABSTC) and OMAFRA for funding trap supplies.
