Cross-Striped Cabbage Worms Appearing in Cole Crops
Growers across the state should begin scouting for cross-striped cabbageworms (CSCW). Unlike the more common brassica caterpillar pests which lay their eggs individually, CSCW females lay eggs in clusters of 3 to 25. As a result, a single plant can quickly become infested with numerous hungry caterpillars, resulting in faster, more severe damage. In recent years, we’ve seen CSCW activity ramp up earlier in the season, and this year is no exception. Egg masses and mid-stage caterpillars have already been found in Eastern Shore counties.
