Based on calls during the last several weeks, many of you are deploying Pherocon AM sticky traps in soybean fields to predict the need for soil insecticides in 2002 first-year corn. We encourage you to forward your monitoring data to us again this year. Last year's monitoring data are located at http://ipm.uiuc.edu/publications/ rootworm-2000/index.htm. Data from 1999 are located at http://ipm.uiuc.edu/publications/ rootworm-1999/index.htm. The data located on these Web sites should only be used as general guidelines for western corn rootworm densities, not to predict the need for a soil insecticide in 2002 first-year corn. The only way to accurately predict the need for a soil insecticide is to monitor fields yearly and make your decision on a field-by-field basis. Monitoring data for 2001 may be submitted on-line at http://ipm.uiuc. edu/agriculture/corn/wcrscout/wcrscout.html, or you may e-mail your reports to sratclif@uiuc.edu. If you do not have access to the Internet or e-mail, please mail your reports to Susan Ratcliffe, University of Illinois, 1102 S. Goodwin Avenue, Urbana, Illinois 61801.--Sue Ratcliffe
