In collaboration with the main peanut shellers in the Southern High Plains, we are evaluating different monitoring procedures to determine: 1) their ability to detect low population densities, and 2) to what extent they can be used to pinpoint "hot spots" of high moth population densities. |
|
|
|
The overall goal is to develop a user-friendly moth monitoring system, so that managers of stored peanuts can acquire reliable and cost-effective information about emerging moth infestations. By having this information available, we are collaborating with leading insecticide manufacturers on how to use precision-targeted treatments as an alternative to either broad-cast fogging or fumigation. |

Chris is setting up a new round of weekly samples of peanuts to be stored for 5 weeks before determining level of moth infestation. |
